Trigger Warning: in-depth conversation about prostate cancer.

******

Prostate cancer mainly affects men over 50, and your risk increases with age. The risk is even higher for Black men, and men with a family history of prostate cancer. If you are in ANY doubt, speak to your GP about symptoms, and ask for a PSA test.

In this honest, hard-hitting conversation with Simon Robinson, we discuss:

  • pre-diagnosis health
  • the test
  • the result
  • the mindset with which to live with cancer
  • the importance of early diagnosis
  • Simon, a healthy corporate company director was diagnosed with early stage prostate cancer, during covid-19 and is now cancer free with regular checks and test. In this episode he talks with Dave D about his story, and the importance of getting tested and checked early.
