My result arrived late morning - was a bit anxious after low Amber reading last year, but back to good Green reading this time. Very happy. Thanks again to @Tracey and all.

I don't know what tape they used but it pulled a layer of skin off when I removed it. Ouch!

Then I got a red result. Double ouch!

Already booked an appointment with the GP and hopefully it will all be fine but you can't help but be a bit worried.

Haven’t received my result yet, I was one of the first to have the test at noon. There was three of us, the other two have had their results, so not sure how the tests are prioritised. It can’t be by surname as two of us are Mc’s.

 Results will be a week in coming is what the organisers were saying but it could be quicker

Hi, @Henry Irving sorry didn’t realise it was you showing people into the booths as was a little anxious, you also looked after my son whilst I was in and informed him I hadn’t fainted!!😂, he said daddy I didn’t need to be told that!!😂, just wanted to say thankyou. 👍

Hope he's not too traumatised 😃

No problem, glad to have been able to help the people who did the real work like Tracey and the testing staff

I got a very high score years ago. Had lots of tests, DREs, MRI, couple of biopsies since but no sign of any cancer.

Scores remain high and so on a six monthly testing regime (all free on the wonderful NHS) so I get why anyone would be concerned and you should definately get further help but it may not be cancer.

And if it is, then it can nearly always be dealt with.

Good luck either way.

Just had my result which, thankfully, remains green. It’s the second year running that the score has gone up quite a bit though. My Dad was diagnosed at around my age so will keep a close eye on future scores/symptoms. 

The opportunity to be tested annually is very comforting though and, as others have said, huge thanks go out to Tracey for continuing with this initiative, the club for supporting it and all those involved in making it happen on the day.

Got my result today, happily a comfortable green. Thanks to Tracey and everyone involved.
