“How £10 could have saved my life” - A Powerful Testimonial

16 Jul, 2025 | Return|

We received a powerful testimonial this month from someone who had a PSA test with us and later found out they had prostate cancer. Please read: 

"It happened so quickly. I had a PSA test on Saturday 7th June at Croydon Masonic Halls. I then got an email with my results informing me that my bloods are high, so on Monday, I phoned my doctor and told him the results. Tuesday I had another blood test, Thursday I had an MRI scan, then the following Tuesday 17th I had a biopsy done. On Thursday 26th I went to hospital with my brother-in-law to get the results, and yes I have prostate cancer. I would never have known if not for a £10 test. I am now going through lots of tests, all very quick, you cannot moan about the NHS! But most of all I just want to say thank you for offering this PSA testing. For £10, let’s hope it saved my life."
