A healthy Scots surgeon was stunned to learn he had stage four cancer and is encouraging fellow Scots to get themselves checked early.
Cambuslang man Gareth Jones says it was initially something he struggled to take in. The 55-year-old is an endourological surgeon at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, and his innovative work brought new kidney stone procedures to hospitals throughout the west of Scotland.
Gareth is urging other men to take the painless test now, reports Glasgow Live. He said: “It’s so vital that men get checked, it's simple and relatively painless. If prostate cancer is caught early then you have so much more of a better chance of cure.
"Getting checked for prostate cancer should be front and centre when it comes to men’s health.
“For me, as a surgeon you sometimes think you can cope with most things but getting this news was very, very difficult. I had an accelerated diagnoses so it all happened very quickly. If I’m being honest I’m still processing it now. I have got stage four prostate cancer, so it’s all about managing it."
“There are so many factors you don’t really consider or think about, there are the obvious physical impacts but there are so many psychological aspects to this too. I have been really well supported though my journey, by friends and colleague , with the input of the palliative care team and psychologists at Maggie’s too.
“I’m not currently working, so what I have been doing recently is supporting the Prostate Cancer UK Scotland Hub with the view of helping out whenever I am able to. This involves raising awareness and looking for opportunities to get stands back in hospitals following the COVID-19 pandemic and also educate our partners in General Practice."
