Prostate check

[JimmyJeffers]

Yep…. That rancid drink you have to consume the night before … awful

I felt sorry for my Mrs more than anything. Some mad noises coming out that toilet.

Anyway… little update …. Have to go for a camera up the hoop as they found some blood in my sample…. Honestly guys, I can’t urge you enough not to put off getting tested, it’s really important that you do.

….had it done 10 days ago for exactly the same reason, they guarantee a referral within 2 weeks. The procedure itself is no problem under local anaesthetic but the drinks they give you ahead of it proper clean you out.

Whilst such procedures are absolutely no bother, there is obviously a lot of concern about what they might find. It’s quite a binary outcome, they find something or they don’t. In my case the Consultant told me I was clear of cancer when he was taking the camera out, it was a huge relief. He took 4 biopsies, suspects I might have had a form of IBS following C-Diff infection. I’m still not right but feel better about the situation.

It’s a worry, Kurt, but as you advise it’s definitely something that needs checking.

Good luck mate, I had this done last year and please don’t be an idiot like i am, you’ll have to have a laxative and not eat for a day or two, then you’ll be offered gas and air or a sedative which prevents you from driving, don’t be an idiot like me and choose to be brave and think you can drive home after the inspection, take someone with you who can bring you home cos you’re not allowed to drive if you choose the sedative, I stupidly chose gas and air and I swear to god I was whimpering like a bullied ginger kid by the end. (You may already knew this - I didn’t)

Good luck la, I hope it’s just a ailment similar to what I have and you have to avoid certain foods.

You’ll have to clear out your system before hand right?

Oh yes, strict instructions on what you can and can't eat, then two sachets of the muck.

Hopefully it's nothing to worry about.
Duke of Argyles can cause similar effects.

Really really no, (especially not a new Dr that's about 27/28) you can ask for another Dr to perform the procedure.
But there is a trade off, women tend to have smaller hands. So digital exploration has facets to consider.

It would be the long fingernails I'd be worried about.

It really is. It's the male equivalent of getting a mammogram.

The 'C' word (cancer) is just spreading like wildfire these days!

I don't know if it's our food, stress or technology that's causing it to grow. It's scary mate.

And you never what's around the corner and how much time you've got left...

...to do the things you love.

On a serious note... Go get tested.

True story.

Think it basically killed our marriage. Poor lass having to hear her husband piss out his butthole.

Chris Hoy is a true hero, his character in the face of this awful news is incredible.

Mr Naive here.... shouldn't you get a letter by default once you reach 50years of age to go visit the docs? Or was this taken away by this government too?!

It never existed mate, it’s an urban myth.

You have to contract your GP surgery in person and even then they may knock you back, if you have no symptoms. ( depending on where you live )

It’s nuts, as it should be offered to every fella as a matter of course once they hit 50.
