This from the Prostate Cancer Charity site,

I know that some will already have seen this as it is included in a different thread. I am after as many signatures as I can generate so have started up a new topic just for this. Thanks to those who have already signed by the way.

If any one wants to sign the petition re testing it has been accepted on the Downing Street website and can be found at

http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/psa-testing/

It reads as follows


We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to begin regular
testing for prostate cancer in men between the ages of 40 and
70

Prostate cancer is the largest cause of male deaths. A blood
test, known as PSA, can indicate that there is a problem that
needs investigating. In the Tryol district of Austria this is
being done and the mortality rates have fallen. Too many men
are being diagnosed only when it is too late for treatment to
be more than palliative.
