The symptoms of prostate cancer men must not ignore

Chris Jones was just 53 when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He said he was proof it was not an old man's disease, and wants more men to be aware of the symptoms.

The difficulty is, prostate cancer develops slowly, so there may be no signs for many years. The symptoms could also be an indication of something else, and don't always mean it is cancer.

If you are over 50, or you're black, or your dad or brother had prostate cancer, you're more likely to be diagnosed with the disease. Former S4C weatherman, Chris, who is an ambassador of Prostate Cymru, said there was a simple blood test that could be done at your GP that could pick up any indication of cancer.
