A grandad has issued a warning after being diagnosed with prostate cancer despite having no signs or symptoms.
Ray Pownall, of St Helens, began to feel "off" several weeks ago but suspected it could be due to his diet controlled diabetes. He made an appointment to see his GP, who confirmed his diabetes had "spiked".
Through routine tests on his sugar levels, it was found his Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) levels were high and the 78-year-old was sent for further tests. Just days later, he was diagnosed with stage three prostate cancer which has spread to his bladder.
