CANCER FINDS RAPIDLY APPROACHING THE 2000 MARK
Whilst we may be in a testing suspension period we continue as best we can to follow up cancer finds arising from our testing and if you go to the download sections of this website you’ll see we’ve now helped find 1925 cancers with more finds coming in every day. The Masonic summary also shows 202 finds with again more coming in almost daily.
On the testing front we, like everybody else, are in unknown territory at the minute with many factors affecting when testing may possibly restart including the possibility of a prolonged lockdown, the chance of a “second wave” in the Autumn, the dilemma of protecting our testing team and the desire not to take essential PPE away from NHS and Care staff who’s need is even greater, to name but a few. We have therefore decided not to take any more provisional event bookings for the time being.
On a more positive note we’re looking very actively at a home testing kit initiative which we hope to trial in May then roll out from June onwards so that men who are anxious to get tested will have the opportunity to do so.
