Men in general are pretty bad at going to the doctor when they are worried or have symptoms. When i worked in bowel cancer screening, the uptake in of men doing the kit was far lower than in females. Even some of the guys who took the test told me they only did so because their wife made them do it 😊. #menshealth

Well done Nick Owen.
We really need to get the message out there about men of a certain age and getting regular checks and to get checked out if you are worried about anything.

I’m in a higher risk category and need yearly checks which doesn’t bother me. Rather that than catching something later down the line.

What’s your risk?

I don't post here due to being on MastodonappUk, but if like to share this...

It's the sixth day into the Prostate Cancer UK #MarchtheMonth challenge and last night was a good boost.

There have been a few days I'd somehow managed to make it just over the 11k steps, so to get just over 18k was nice!

A small *minority* of people reading this will ever get #TC; of these men a *majority* will survive thanks to modern medicine and early detection.

Early detection saves lives!

No matter what you call them, check them.
Regularly.

Remember: Early detection saves lives!

PS: I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the 3 men who volunteered and sent in portraits of their "joy departments" for this project over the past seven days.

An unexpected side-effect of getting sleep with a CPAP machine is that after a week it feels like everyone else's thinking is slowing down as mine speeds up.

The Aponea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) is an average measure of how many times you have a full or partial loss of breath for more than 10 seconds. It’s not hard to imagine this is not a good thing if it occurs too often.

My recent sleep study resulted in a AHI value of 45.1. I knew I was constantly tired, and have been feeling the negative impacts for too long. I would never have imagined that on average I stop breathing for at least 7.5 minutes per HOUR!

Tonight I start trialling a CPAP machine. It will deliver a constant air pressure into my airways to keep them unobstructed. It’s a little intimidating yet at the same time comforting. Once my clinician and I get the numbers dialled in, good quality sleep will return and I won’t feel so horrible all the time.

Some of my symptoms are:
- constantly tired
- fogginess in my thinking by
- mid-afternoon (at best)
- irritability
- overall poor health

The thing about snoring is, I’m asleep. I can’t know how bad it is. If you think your snoring is worsening, or your partner says it is, don’t dismiss it from simply being overweight, stressed, overworked etc. Get to your GP, order a sleep study and follow it through.

Pleased to report that all my cancer screening was clear, so much relief. And I NEVER want to endure a flexible endoscopy ever again!

I have tried to accept what is & work with what I have in order to keep moving forward. I have faced the loss of bladder & bowel function, the chronic pain in my legs & hips, the nerve dysfunction & have sought to live as functional a life as I can.

Happy Colonoscopy Day to me!

(Oops my post-op selfie in my gown didn’t save. I blame the anesthesia). So I’m posting one as I leave the center.

Get your colonoscopies and any other routine procedures. It’s a hell of a lot better than getting cancer.
