Simple blood test. It’s advertised as over 50’s, but I’ve just taken my Grandad and they offered it to me as well, it’s a minimum £5 donation to the charity. It was good to see so many people there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disjointed Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Having just lost my dad to prostate cancer it is good to see so many taking advantage of this test. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beag_teeets Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 If I had to pay a £5 I'd rather they'd have done the old test than just a simple blood test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a suggested donation to the charity.Most people were happy to donate more than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beag_teeets Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 They used to stick a finger up your arse to check for prostate issues, that's about right for a fiver. I wouldn't pay that much for a little prick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charging someone for a blood test that isn't recommended is profiteering in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
