Could Not Be More Straightforward

“I came for my PSA test to Clitheroe Golf Club; this was after I had received an email advising me of the testing 12 months after my initial test at Burnley Golf Club. The results were remarkably received on the same Saturday evening and were Green rated.

I just wanted to offer my thanks and appreciation for the service provided, it is genuinely first-class and could not be more straightforward. I have no doubt you will save many lives over the years. Well done to all involved.”

I Am Really Glad That I Took Part

“I attended a PSA Test Day at Rochdale AFC as part of a programme in partnership with The Barry Kilby Prostate Cancer Appeal.

I only took part as testing was targeted at a Rochdale AFC home match and as the Community Manager, felt it appropriate to attend.

I was informed that there were no issues from that test but following a second PSA test the following season I was notified that I was diagnosed with a Gleason 6 Prostate Cancer, which really knocked me for six.

Since then, I have been treated extremely well by the NHS with actions including three monthly assessments through phone calls to reassure me that everything is OK.

I am really glad that I took part in the PSA Testing as I would be walking around unaware of my condition, not receiving the present attention, and looking to the future in a better frame of mind.”
