LATEST LOCKDOWN REINFORCES THE NEED FOR HOME TESTING KITS
You may have seen recent publicity about the increased deaths from a number of other causes during the Covid pandemic because of the delays in early diagnosis. Deaths from Prostate Cancer is up there with all the rest... with an increase of up to 53% being quoted. If that's right this could lead to an extra 6,500 deaths or so on an annualised basis.
A scary thought. Our Home Testing Kit facility can help overcome this.
Since launching in June we've already carried out approaching 2500 of these tests with of the order of 150 of them being "Reds" (abnormal). On our historic conversion rate of 25% proving to be through Prostate Cancer this could lead to eventual diagnosis of 30/40 cancers. Hopefully by helping to find them earlier than would have been the case these men will be in a better position to deal with it.
It's easy to register and the test only takes a few minutes of your time. Please visit www.mypsatests.org.uk to register...after telling all your friends about it!
