My PSA result

I was diagnosed eight years ago with an aggressive form of prostate cancer.

I’ve just got my latest PSA result and it’s <0.1 undetectable.

I urge all men over 40 to get a PSA test and catch it early.

The past eight years have been hard especially on my dear wife, thank God I’ve got her.

Anyway let’s hope for three points tonight.

    Great news Dan. 

    How do you go about getting tested? Is it just a call to the GP?

    Red John I want to let you know I’ve been on hormone therapy for most of the past eight years and that brought my PSA right down to zero.Also I found a book called ….How to starve cancer… by Jane Mclelland who was stage 4 cancer like me 20 years ago and she’s still here.She recommended I went to the Care Oncology Clinic in London.  careoncology.com

    they give you alternative drugs to stop the cancer spreading and so far it’s worked for me.Its costing me about £1600 a year.I get three monthly consultations with them and they supply the alternative drugs.

    I hope this helps mate as I know just how you are feeling.

    Anything to help a fellow Charlton family member.
