Rejected petition Prostrate screening for all men over a certain age,
I have in a small group of men 5 diagnosed with prostrate cancer, sadly one of these guys has already passed away which has led this idea for a screening programmed.
More details
Whilst there has been increased success with diagnosing this illness and much financial support, surely early diagnosis is great for the individual giving greater chance of survival.
Most people today have heard of someone that has prostrate cance, now is the time for action and screening.
