If you are over the age of 40, please do your prostate test yearly, look for the warning signs (as early detection is the key to beating cancer).

Go to your GP for your yearly examination and ask for the blood test as well.

Boys & men need to examine their testicals for lumps and thickenings.
If you find a lump or thickening, please go see your doctor immediately.
Ladies, please encourage the men in your life to have them tested.
