Procrastinating Prostates
I've been to and from the south twice in the last week, not just for workings and the like - but also to make a much needed trip to see my family. My Grandad has been suffering with a dodgy prostrate for a while (same goes for my Dad...) the situation had gotten so bad the hospital took him in to operate on it. While under the knife the surgeon found there were problems with his bladder too - which they've tried to amend, and have left his prostate where it is for the time being. If I remember correctly, they've taken a sample for biopsy.
The surgeon had hoped that the bladder fixerupper would do the trick, Grandad however doubts this highly as is still having the same troubles in that department. It is with all possibility that he will need to go under the knife again to have his prostate fully removed.
I've already lost a couple of family members to prostate cancer, I don't want to add anyone else I know and love to that list.
Guys, for the sake of those you love, if you've got some kind of trouble 'down there' and you've been putting off going to your GP because you're embarrassed, please don't hold off any longer! Procrastinating over your Prostate does nothing to help you or your family in the long run, it's better to check and be given the all clear, then to think "If I ignore it, it'll go away" it doesn't!
Prostate cancer is as big a killer of men as breast cancer is a killer of women, yet we hardly hear anything about it and too many people are not aware of this horrible disease!
