Trigger Warning: in-depth conversation about prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer mainly affects men over 50, and your risk increases with age. The risk is even higher for Black men, and men with a family history of prostate cancer. If you are in ANY doubt, speak to your GP about symptoms, and ask for a PSA test.

In this honest, hard-hitting conversation with Simon Robinson, we discuss:

• pre-diagnosis health
