Men over 40 years old are recommended to have a Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) test at least once a year. The test in and of itself is not conclusive, but the follow-up investigation is getting more sophisticated as time passes. PSA tests have been confirmed via screening trials to halve Prostate Cancer mortality.
Our event is open to all Masons, family and friends and an appointment must be booked in advance either online (details below) or by phoning the Graham Fulford Trust on 01926 419959. There are 125 places available, so please don’t delay.
The Provincial Charity will fund each test. V oluntary charitable donations will be welcomed to support the event given that each test will cost £22.50 per head.
