need any radiotherapy, didn't need any chemotherapy. the operation did it for me. for andrew the road to recovery has been hard at times but he's now back to running and playing five—a—side. a simple blood test saved his life. i think i've used all my luck up in one go and if that's the only luck i'm going to have in my life, i'll take that. one disease, two very different outcomes but the same message for thousands of men thought to be living with prostate cancer. where i am now in life compared to what the alternative could have been, it's a no—brainer. if anyone is worried about it, just go take a test. raising awareness now is key to recognising the symptoms and get treatment if you do have cancer, it's to get that early treatment and save your life. dominic hughes, bbc news.
