TESTIMONIAL

12 Jan, 2021 | Return|

“Happy Christmas to you guys, keep up the great work, the last time you checked me l was given an Amber report, unfortunately I had difficulty in getting my GP’s to take my early warning result and my own related symptoms seriously and was fobbed off.  When I eventually got them to get their act together, time had passed, tests were undertaken, and I was diagnosed with having advanced prostate cancer which had broken out from the prostate! BAD NEWS for me!!!!! 

However, thank you guys for the part you played, it seems as though it is definitely a worthwhile exercise, and on an Amber result it is essential one should insist on further tests and action to be taken.

As a PS., A friend of mine who also attended your PSA blood tests did have a green light, but on hearing about my dilemma decided to ask his GP for a PSA blood test and was similarly fobbed off and told that blood tests are not reliable and do not necessarily prove prostate problems and to return sometime in the new year to decide on whether or not he should then have a PSA test, l am proof to the contrary.

Merry Christmas”
