I was on twitter the other day and a message containing a poem caught my attention.

It came from the friends of a Prostate Cancr sufferer who hadn't got the 'all clear' and who sadly passed away as a result of his condition.

George had been having trouble sleeping and one early morning had sat down and composed the following poem. His wife Joan asked that it should be shared as much as possible to get the message out there to all us 'stick your head in the sand' type of guys. So here it is:

100 Men.

100 men today will hear
The word which each of them will fear,
Cancer, of the Prostate kind
Is in their body; now in their mind.

66 will become 'all clear'
3 will die within the year.
31 will soldier on
Until the day they to are gone.

100 men have had the test.
More didn't know it would be best
To ask if they are really well
Just too manly to talk or 'tell'.

100 men today are sure
They should have asked for help before
But how on earth could they discuss
When they don't want to make a fuss.

100 men could all be clear
None of them need die next year
If only we could all relate
To "How's your prostate, my old mate?"

100 men or one in eight
Through ignorance have sealed their fate
Future men must see the light
Then 100 men will win the fight

George Stephens RIP (1 of the 31)

The message is clear......GET CHECKED and DON'T let things just slip by.

Every day is a gift..That's why it's called the present.

Nostalgia is not what it used to be.

Every little helps


It began when I found I could no longer wee,
especially during the night.

It came out in spits and sometimes in spurts
and I thought to myself ...  Hell! That doesn't seem right.

Then when I was finished ... I wasn't you see,
'cause drip drip ... drip drip kept bothering me.

So I said to the missus "My plumbings affected."
She said "Darl it's probably badly connected.

You know when you start to get long in the tooth
there are signs to remind you you're not bullet proof.

So I think that it's time an appointment we make
with the doctor. Let's do it before it's too late.

So we did. And when first up Doc put on a glove,
I stepped back apace and said "Hang about love!

I hope you're not thinkin' what I think that you're thinkin'.
But he was. And he did. And I tell ya fair dinkum

the end of the bed rail I firmly took hold.
I nipped and I tucked and I squirmed and I rolled.

When at last it was over, I sat up and waited
while he told me my prostate was large and outdated.

It's not a big problem you'll need a rebore.
Take the stress of your bladder. Won't even be sore.

The bit we remove we'll send off to be checked.
Make sure it's healthy to keep you on deck.

But the doc phoned next week and here comes the crunch.
The news that he had put me right off my lunch.

The pathology's back and you won't like the answer.
I'm sorry to say that your prostate has cancer.

There are several treatments you've heard of no doubt,
and though I believe we should take it all out,

the final decision is still yours to make,
but know what's in store if your prostate I take.

So I asked him to tell me what problems I'd face
if the prostrate was finally removed from its place.

He told me that guys always raised an objection
when told that they'd no longer get an erection

Then my wife interrupted with this sage remark.
"He's an old dog. His bite's really less than his bark.

It's been ages since he carried on like a pup.
These days he needs splints just to keep it all up.

So if leaving it in still raises a doubt,
I agree with you Doc. Just take it all out."

A number of thoughts then rolled round in my head,
but finally I simply chose not to be dead.

Now my PSA rating has dropped below one
and I'm glad I decided to get the job done.

So if your pipe's leaky. If your wee is in strife,
see your Doc early. It may just save you life
