I would like to say a massive thank you to the Somerset Prostate Support Association.

I took advantage of the offer of a PSA test in Midsomer Norton in September 2022.

I had no symptoms but went for the test as suggested by my wife. To both our surprise my result came back at 11.5 so was red flagged.

I had a further test via my GP confirming a raised PSA level of 12.6. From there I had a referral to Southmead Hospital, an MRI scan, biopsy which confirmed stage 2A prostate cancer. I have now undergone a prostatectomy and am on the road to recovery and hopefully many years of good health ahead.

As I say I had no symptoms.

I have advised many friends and colleagues to have the test and spread the word.

Thank you all for the test option and your efforts.

RWS from Somerset
