Whilst educating some staff about #prostate #cancer a new grad nurse asked, "but what is the prostate for?". I thought I had just been explaining that so I was stumped for an answer and struggled to think of a better explanation. I should have just quoted wikipedia, "a muscle-driven mechanical switch between urination and ejaculation" - you can't get much more succinct. It's all just plumbing really.

L'homme est en train de se faire pulvériser la #prostate au laser.
T'as compris pourquoi mon #cancer s'est mis en sommeil ? C'est parce-que c'est à mon tour de chouchouter l'homme.
Je vais préparer des lasagnes pour son retour. Et le lendemain il aura des endives au jambon et ensuite un soufflet aux courgettes (exceptionnel, c'est pas la saison), je devrais en trouver en grande surface, y en a pas à la ferme.
I'm not what you might call in prime condition, I'm 68 years old & I have #HealthIssues. I am a #HeartAttack and #TripleBypass Surgery survivor back in 2018, left with a #HeartCondition.
I have #ChronicKidneyDisease coupled with a troublesome #Prostate that interferes with my #Bladder meaning I have a permanent #Catheter.
My #BloodPressure can get a little out of whack, I can also fall into #Anxiety or #Depression but not like I used to. Finally I have #Arthritis at the base of my Spine.
#Prostate #cancer becomes most common cancer diagnosis in England - https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/jan/28/prostate-cancer-becomes-most-common-cancer-diagnosis-in-england "There were 55,033 diagnoses of prostate cancer in England in 2023 compared with 47,526 diagnoses of breast cancer"

PSA isn't approved for good reason as a routine screening test in the British Health Service - although men over 50 can request their doctor to do one (most doctors would only do one alongside (before) a rectal examination).
It's an excellent test for monitoring the progression of known prostate cancer and its treatment, but it can be raised in a huge number of other non-cancer situations. It is not a diagnostic test.
The gold standard test is still a digital rectal examination by someone who's been trained to spot the signs of cancer. This can be followed up with an MRI if there's any suspicious findings.
Sorry, but I fear that the use of PSA as a screening tool is a way of making money in a profit driven healthcare system.

Lads, lads!

I'm about to have my 5th round of chemotherapy for advanced metstatic prostate cancer. A close friend has had surgery to remove theirs today, and another friend in the USA had theirs removed on Thursday.
If you are 50+, then FOR THE LOVE OF WHATEVER DEITY YOU DO OR DON'T HAVE please get a PSA test.
Save yourself being in our position.
Wondering if we're getting the truth on #Netanyahu's #prostate surgery: 1 in 8 men of his age have prostate #cancer. "Enlarged prostate"? Probably 75% of men his age have that. So...thinking cancer? That's the usual reason for a prostatectomy.

It's been a while since my previous instance got shafted by spammers and started being defederated & blocked, and then the one I was going to move to also took a nosedive in uptime terms.
So here I am again.
I still have advanced #metastatic #prostate #cancer but since then it transpires that #SirChrisHoy has selfishly announced that he, too, has the same one except his is slightly more advanced than mine, because of course it is (this is of course ever so slightly light-hearted).
