I took a PSA test in January last year. The result indicated that I might have prostate cancer. Further tests including scans and a biopsy confirmed the suspicions.
It seems that I have been lucky and caught the disease just in time. If by sharing my experience someone else takes a test and doesn't develop a life limiting disease, it will be well worthwhile.
As I prepared for my radiotherapy treatment I thought that by wearing my shirts I could turn a difficult time into a positive opportunity to publicise Prostate Cancer and the PSA test. It was also a chance to tell people about Transformation Through Education – the charity I established recently to bring hope to some very disadvantaged children in Zambia.
My grandaughter Amy set up Facebook and Instagram accounts for the charity and took photos and videos to post online. I am now posting these on my blog in order to reach another audience. You can use the following links to see the Facebook and Instagram posts.
