its quite normal today,for ladies to check their breasts regularly for any abnormalities....which is good news! but any men reading this please note..........if you find yo pee differently this week,compared to last week..if its more frequent...less frequent...sometimes,it burns..........seek medical advice. check your testicals for lumps,at least once a week...if you find one...seek medical advice...can be cured quickly...painlessly...if caught in time! check for lumps anywhere on your body...if you find one...seek medical advice...thats wot doctors are paid for! medical science is is going leeps and bounds...use it.........live longer...but its in YOUR HANDS. bryan.

My Husband had Prostate Cancer 2 years ago, he had no side affects it was found after a routine check up, the doctor said he had had it for about five years. It was a big shock but he had it taken out and has been fine ever since thank God, so don,t be scared guys every thing works if you no what I mean lol. So come on men do not be afraid get checked. Love Deb.

My husband had a frequency problem and just put up with it then the doctor began offering the PSA test and discovered he had Prostate cancer.That was 8 years ago so dont ignore symptoms. Now the poor darling has had Leukemia for 3 years and is on chemo for the second time but we hope it will keep him going a bit longer Margaret

My brother in law who was a really nice guy had 'migraines 'for years. It was only when he went to Italy on holidayand had a bad one there and was rushed to hospital that he was diagnosed with a brain tumour. He had been to several Brit. Dr. and no one had picked up on the need to perhaps have a little peek inside his head. By the time he discovered his testicular cancer it was too late. Rose

I know Robbie Williams did a big campaign for cancer awareness a while back but haven't heard anything since!!

Is there are similar male cancer awareness. So many men find the whole process of self examination embarassing. There are real barriers in male attitudes which need to be broken down to make it easier to talk bout their problems Rose
