It’s Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. If you don’t look out for and after yourself, chances are no one else will either. If your life partner is nagging you because they’re concerned about your health and well being, give it up and make a doctors appointment for a full check. If you don’t feel quite right, go get checked and ask for PSA test while you’re there. Make the time for you! Stop putting things off…………………………you don’t want anything to be too late! Listen to your body!This champion is Darren. 😊

He was diagnosed with Stage 4 prostate cancer last year, at the age of 56. 🙁

“I only started feeling symptoms right before I was diagnosed,” he says. 😞

“My symptoms were a slight burning sensation when urinating, a sore back – which everyone told me was work related – and then only days before going to the hospital I was having difficulty urinating. 🤕

“According to my doctors, I have an aggressive type of prostate cancer. 😬

“My first PSA test showed a score over 200, and my last test prior to treatment was 630. 😮

“I started chemotherapy, ongoing hormone injections and Darolutamide tablets to fight back. 💪

“Today my PSA has stabilized at 0.03. 😄

“Being active has helped, providing many mental and physical health benefits. My wife and I have also just completed a six-month trip around Australia – we are a team and I am so lucky to have her by my side. 🥰

“I want as many men as possible to get their PSA checked regularly. It’s also so important to check your family history for any types of cancer, particularly prostate cancer and breast cancer. 💯

“Take that information to your GP to check your PSA. The blood test is routine and quick. 👏

“I am keen to get the message out to as many men as I can – test, test, test!” 🙌💙

All power to you Darren – massive thanks for your support! ❤️
