Today is World Lung Cancer Day, when we shine a light on cancer prevention and treatment. This year, we're focusing on coming together to support important research and spread the word about early screening. #WLCD2024 #WorldCancerDay

Please talk to your healthcare providers about screening options. Consider that 30 to 40% of cancers are related to lifestyle factors. To help prevent cancer, think about how you can incorporate diet changes and more physical activity into your routine! I am trying to cut added sugars personally. The recommended daily added sugar goal is 6 - 8 teaspoons per day. This is for all of your food and drinks! 😬 Try to exercise at a moderate intensity (or what you can tolerate safely) for at least 20 minutes 3-4 times per week. Talk to your healthcare provider if you need clearance before this, but most people can start slow and build slowly. Start with five or 10 minutes a day if you need. Also schedule exercise on your calendar (type it in) and treat it like an important medical visit. Vaccinations for hepatitis B and human papilloma virus can further decrease the rise for certain cancers.

Dr. Nat Pernick recently updated the American Code Against Cancer, which focuses on actions individuals can take to reduce cancer risk by 30–50% and is part of our strategic plan to substantially reduce cancer deaths. (Link in comments) #CancerPrevention #CuringCancerNetwork #PathologyOutlines

As is said at the end of the video It IS time to get real about prostate cancer. I have talked with quite a few guys over the weekend about PC including my postman who is 56. He recently had a Wellman examination and all is fine. Bloods were tested for diabetes, gout risk, testosterone levels, cholesterol levels et al. All but PSA. He had also carried out a bowel cancer screening test and all was good. He is happy with his results and has no intention of asking his GP to carry out a PSA test. Well there you go…… You have to wonder about things here. Maybe routine health checks, medicals and routine blood testing are creating an avenue whereby prostate cancer and it’s early detection can be easily passed by and overlooked? I have never had a Wellman test. Prior to investigating my damaged vertebral artery issue a little over 2 years ago, I had only ever been to the doctor’s to see the nurse to have my ears syringed on 3 occasions and for a routine medical required for rallying. I have always been blessed with incredibly good physical health, so much so, that seeing blood in my pee didn’t concern me too much…..stupid of me I know! The subsequent cancer diagnosis led me to feel anger at myself, no one else and nothing else. Actual concern that it was potentially life limiting or life threatening was never a thought at the time and in fact, as it appears to be under control, I remain somewhat unconcerned. It is there and it has to be dealt with. So, why isn’t PSA level in the blood looked for during Wellman tests? Or is it and I’m mistaken? Or was it ever and now it’s been dropped? I heard a tale the other week that this was the case, but I have only hear say. Can someone out there answer the above questions please? We have to have a national screening programme set up. Wellman tests seem to present an ideal opportunity to provide a cost saving route for the government, but of course these tests are voluntary and are paid for by the individual requesting one; so the only assured way to catch more guys in a drag net is a standalone free screening test. Being free will prompt more guys to participate. anyone reading this who falls within the demographic ‘male 50 years plus’ please GET TESTED. I had obvious symptoms, but a lot of guys who have PC will tell you that they were asymptomatic. Symptoms may not appear, so press your GP for a blood test. The postie’s attitude annoyed me, but during the 3 years that I knew there was occasionally blood in my urine, I displayed the same macho stupidity didn’t I? I was maybe a bit rash to judge him in my mind. That stupid attitude of mine has led to a late diagnosis with all the consequential side effects of the treatments required to halt my cancer’s progress. Avoid all that guys, all of you whether Black or White. Early detection can mean treatment is much less disruptive to your routine. GET TESTED AND CATCH IT EARLY Give yourselves a chance!
