Is it any wonder people are dying unnecessarily.... For us men a PSA test is a cheap easy starting process to prevent premature make death, but what next... We need the screening programme as well as follow up services to be in place, please badger your MP....
This is encouraging but we still need to get those PSA tests in first to flag a problem.... We cannot wait, we need an immediate PSA national screening programme to be replaced by something better when it is available..... 3rd biggest cancer killer and yet no screening 😔 shout the message Test My PSA
Site win this week... This message we received 🙂 "Just want to say a big BIG thank you. I told my brother about you, and your work PSA testing. He recently had a PSA test. His doctor didn't think it necessary, but he insisted. They picked up on prostate cancer. His symptoms were buried under a load of other stuff, so would have been missed if he wasn't a stubborn old git. Proof I listen to you, and he listens to me! A low-grade Christmas miracle! 😀"
How shallow of #prostatecanceruk when they have not been pushing for an Immediate Screening Programme before - Test-My-PSA.uk -- good to see they are pushing for change - but why so late ?
THe 'Good Cancer', 3rd largest killer and yet the only one in the top 4 without a screening programme - TEST MY PSA - prevent premature death now - not in 10 years when they finally find a better screening programme!

This really should not be a story - we need to raise our voices - TEST MY PSA - it should be a standard screening test - men should not have to ask for it, let alone be refused it...! This just shows how broken the health system is when despite Prostate Cancer being the third biggest cancer killer in the UK and affecting 1 in 4 black men, there is no screening programme... TEST MY PSA NOW!
The more we do, the more it supports the cause for a national screening programme - #testmypsa - if you have Prostate Cancer, please consider signing up...
Let's hope people never have to go through this like I (the person writing this post) has.. It is more than life changing #prostatecanceruk - which is why we need a National Screening Programme NOW! there is no time to wait, men do not need to die early... Test My PSA - let it be a manta of every man in the UK and may the Government bring in a screening programme!
This is really positive news and great work from #prostatecancerresearch #prostatecanceruk but we need an immediate screening programme to start using the best resources we have Test-my-psa.uk , join our cause, start screening immediately and look to improve on it... 🤠
Yet again someone suffers for the lack of a screening programme.... Test-my-PSA.uk join our cause and scream from the rooftops for a National screening programme
"GPs are told not to proactively raise the issue of PSA testing with asymptomatic men. " This benefits men who know about the PSA blood test and know how to request one from their GP (frequently the most health literate and affluent). This has resulted in uneven PSA testing rates in the UK with evidence showing that men living in the South, and the least deprived regions, have higher PSA testing rates. WE SAY THERE NEEDS TO BE A PROSTATE CANCER SCREENING PROGRAMME! TEST My PSA
