May I echo this, as a patient of a myeloma clinic at the hospital

It's very important we don't put things off, or live subconsciously.

Life is already very short, so getting checks and looking after yourself should be the highest priority - despite it being hard times with aspects of emotions, time, and other commitments.

I echo the need to get things checked out. I had my prostate checked out after ongoing issues & it came through clear.

Best to get things checked out with your GP regularly if there are other issues too.

its wise advice, i hope more actually get checks and dont worry about seeming macho or unmanly. its important we look after ourselves and with the nhs we are fortunate to have the care available to us.

Do yourself a favour and get checked. Listen to people like Sir Hoy, who speak from experience. Don't let something be too late to act on. You will thank yourself in the long term.
