'Tink of what you'll lose if you put your head in the sand'

摘要

CAPT John Culling (Scots) was fit and active when a prostate cancer diagnosis knocked him for six. After nearly a year of gruelling treatment, including hormone therapy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the 61-year-old is now on the road to recovery and wants to raise awareness of the condition by sharing his story... I was so shocked when I was diagnosed. I had no pains; the only symptom was going to the toilet during the night more often, but I put that down to my age. When I mentioned that to a medic during an exercise, he said I should get my prostate checked. So my wife booked an appointment and the doctor took some blood.
