I think it was in the press previously that he had or has prostate cancer.

I'm 51 and have issues with the pesky thing and can only agree with getting it checked out.

It has to be said though that it's not the most pleasant of experiences.

I have a few years on you DD and could not agree more that once you get north of 50 to get it checked regularly.
The PSA and / or PHI blood tests are by far and away a more tolerable experience than finger up the hoop job and the accuracy of the results are indeed very good.

The blood tests aren't great for picking up prostrate problems, only around 70% accuracy and can lead to missing problems and also diagnosing issues that don't exist.
It's all we have though as everything else is invasive, due to where the thing is.

The UCAN thing they are trying to set up at ARI would be a game changer, but quibbling over funding and we are only talking around £500k, which is really nothing in this day and age, especially in 'oil rich Aberdeen'.

I read the Leighton article and great to read that he is on the mend. He was a great keeper for us over two spells.
