BLADDER CANCER - Caregiver (Dad) @Carermentor

Dad had congestive heart failure for a long time before his cancer. Light pink pee prompted us to ask our GP for a referral (UK system). Diagnostic tests included a camera to view inside his bladder space (Cystoscopy). It was a straightforward diagnosis that led to an operation to remove an area of his bladder.

PROSTATE CANCER - Patient (Me) @prostatecancer @stevensonmark

I was diagnosed with Prostate cancer at the ripe old age of just 46! Normally associated with the older gentleman, my prostate decided it fancied a cell change at an earlier age. It was due to a contact that I knew mentioning that he was going for a prostatectomy that prompted me soon afterwards to get my PSA checked out as I was needing to pee with some urgency (https://prostatecancer.substack.com/p/the-psa-will-be-fine-i-am-only-46).

Nearly four years later and I am still here and purely through a brief conversation with someone else that had been diagnosed and was happy to talk about it...I am here to pass this message on and keep the topic of getting checked if worried out there!
