Did you know that 1 in 8 men in the UK will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime?I’m taking on the 56 Miles in February challenge for PCR to change this and help make a difference to men and their families who have been affected by prostate cancer.

Three years ago at the age of 68, I saw a poster outside of Sainsbury's, Fosse Park, Leicester recommending men over fifty have a PCA blood test.

Although I had no symptoms, I asked my GP if I could have a blood test.

The results were positive .

After a biopsy, I was prescribed Decaptyl followed twenty eight sessions of radiotherapy several months later.

I'm still on three monthly hormone injections, have blood tests, which are followed by a telephone appointment with my oncologist every six months.
