Calling all my male friends. Last year I had a radical prosatectomy. I was diagnosed in 2011. I had HIFU treatment in January 2016 that addressed it for seven years, but it came back. Luckily I was under surveillance, so they were able to address it and my last post op PSA test came back clear. I opted for the operation as Professer Christopher Eden assured me that his procedure had a strong likelyhood of retaining my erectile function and my continence. He was true to his word. Why was I diagnosed? I had a male all round health check in 2011, that deteted a high PSA. I'd only gone to the doctor as I had a knee problem following a football injury, he suggested the 'MOT'. If you are over 50 or have a family history of prostate cancer, get a check. I wrote a song chronicling my journey. It is funny, but 100% true - please have a listen and share this, this is important. I was gobsmacked when I was diagnosed as things like that don't happen to me.
