@mrdanwalker @chrishoy I have 2 friends who have left it to late, one has passed tge other has cancer un their bones. I try to tell people that it's a simple test

I don’t know if you know but… it’s Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.
I have been reading about @chrishoy this week and he has inspired me to post this.
Cancer is not a nice word. It sends fear into most people and so many of us are touched by it either directly or indirectly.
Last July I had a prostate screening blood test at the Canon Medical Arena in Sheffield. My dad has had prostate cancer before and now it’s back. His experience has made me far more aware of the risks and the worries so visiting the @LivingCareGroup centre felt like £15 and 15 minutes well spent.
They had 200 appointments available - all subsidised by a local charity. I posted on my social media and spent much of the day reading through the thousands of comments.
There were so many people who were struggling to get an appointment with their doctor and they just wanted that level of reassurance that comes from a simple medical test.
There were hundreds of comments about the need for a national screening programme and many more were pointing to the fact that 1 in 8 men will get prostate cancer at some point in their lives.
One email stood out above everything else for me. I have read it quite a few times.
Dear Dan,
I would like to thank you so much for talking about your visit in Sheffield for an inexpensive PSA test.
My husband lost his paternal grandfather to prostrate cancer and his cousin has terminal prostrate cancer. Although my husband used to have tests, he hasn't over the last 10 years.
Your post prompted him to go along to Living Care and take the test. After a second PSA test, an ultrasound and an MRI scan, he has been diagnosed with prostrate cancer.
It was quite a shock, but had you not posted about it that day, I don't know when he would have got tested and the cancer may have been found, not just at a later stage, but at a catastrophically later stage, like his cousin.
Obviously, it's still a worry, but I’d like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the nudge you gave him, giving him a better chance of survival.
Yours, truly gratefully…
That for me is what Prostate Cancer Awareness Month is all about. It’s about helping each other. It’s about people like this lovely lady and her husband.
It’s about simple tests.
It’s about changing lives and saving lives.

"Cash for access" to tourist locations in public areas.
In a week when the city of Rome brought in a €2 fee to visit the Trevi Fountain in the heart of the capital, how do you feel about paying for access?
And will the fee succeed in tackling overtourism?
