What the petition asks
Overturn the announcement, from the NSC, and implement prostate cancer screening for, at the very least, all men within the upper risk category, with plans to expand this wider.
I have recently had a close relative, receive news that he has less than 2 months to live, following being diagnosed with Prostate Cancer (Stage IV). Sadly, he is not, nor are my family, alone in receiving similar news.
If screening was in place, his life may have been saved. This is a call to help save many, many men’s’ lives and implement screening for prostate cancer in those at risk of it.
