Roger had no symptoms and went to see a doctor for routine check-ups
A “fit and healthy” man who suddenly collapsed, then was diagnosed with prostate and breast cancer in the space of four months, is encouraging men to “talk to somebody” and “act quickly” if they suspect something is wrong. Roger Stanley, 64, who lives in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, was first diagnosed with prostate cancer in March 2023 after having PSA tests, which measure the amount of prostate-specific antigen in the blood.
“When it came to my own diagnosis, I had no clue I had breast cancer – I couldn’t feel a lump, I had no symptoms, I had no pain, my partner Shaila hadn’t noticed a lump. “It was completely unexpected… but hopefully, by talking, it will help at least one person get something checked and make a difference.”
“But because my dad had had it and was treated with radiotherapy and my friend had had it and was treated with brachytherapy, I wasn’t really concerned.” “After the initial shock, it was, ‘Right, OK, just get it done and get it out’ – but I soon realised that you can’t just get it out and carry on with your life because there are consequences. “It was lucky it was picked up because with most men, you don’t know you can get it, if you find something you ignore it, and even if you do find something you don’t think it’s breast cancer.”
