Kevin Saunderson's routine trip to the GP for a blood pressure check led to a diagnosis that changed his life
A dad-of-two was diagnosed with cancer after a nurse stopped him in his GP surgery and offered him a simple blood test. Kevin Saunderson was at the doctors in April 2021 for a blood pressure check when a nurse informed him he qualified for a Well Man blood test due to his age.
"I was then asked to go for a rectal exam, and from that exam it was identified that my prostate was enlarged. I had a couple of MRI scans; I had a biopsy taking samples from my prostate, and it was identified I had stage two cancer." In March of this year, Kevin decided to have surgery to remove the gland as he was worried the cancer could spread.
In the UK, there is currently no screening programme for prostate cancer and middle aged men are consider high risk. Although they are entitled to a PSA blood test, they may not be automatically offered one.
