This is a serious question. Recent research shows that frequent sex lowers the risk of prostate cancer. Fry has announced (in The Guardian of course, where else!) that he had an operation for prostate cancer in January

In that case, I'm certain to get it. :confused:
You've misunderstood the evidence. More sex lowers the risk. You may not have a risk in the first place. Presumably however you are being tested as part of your annual check-up?Quote:

If a problem is detected their doctor contacts them
Damn socialised medicine
The home shit check for the elderly has been the norm for years in the UK. Do keep up. http://https://www.nhs.uk/conditions...ning/fob-test/
Brad is correct - I have received about 3 of those test invitation mailings but I haven't returned any of them as I've found it impossible to hold the envelope open and shit in it at the same time.
There's a serious design flaw
I got the bowel cancer test kit about a month ago. It was fine. I don't have an annual check up - I see my GP when I need to. Perhaps it's something I should consider.
If I asked my GP surgery for an annual check up I'd get short shrift - unless you have an underlying chronic condition like diabetes or are in certain occupations then you have no chance of getting your health routinely checked
