Many years ago the training department of the company I was with at the time, had a plastic cube (slightly larger than a Rubik's Cube), which had a hole in each face. If you stuck your finger in these holes, the rubber lumps you would feel inside were supposed to be similar to what a clinician would feel inside an arse with prostate cancer at various stages.
Glad to say that when I tried it, I couldn't tell the difference between any of them. Therefore any suggestion of a second career as a prostate examiner was a complete non-starter.

Good luck, Syd.
Can't help you with experience, but send you good, positive thoughts. Will you keep us updated?

Resurrecting this thread as I have now had a positive diagnosis (via Biopsy) and although it is caught nice and early and has not spread it is not of the slowest growing variety, so as I am relatively young at “only” 63 I am inclined to do something about it rather than just monitor, while it is still small and confined to the Prostate.
So that is a choice between Radiotherapy and Surgery. Plenty of old gits on here so any WHOers have experience of either and the side effects involved? I have read all the blurb and discussed at length with the quacks but at the end of the day its my choice so some first-hand experience of either and if hindsight felt it was the right choice would be interesting to know.
Very difficult to wipe my knob on it so sadly that’s out.

Had a scare about 5 years ago... high PSA count so had biopsy.... which somehow I ended up with a blocked bladder ... followed by bladder spasms (basically having no control of bladder where you end up pissing bloody piss everywhere) ... 4 nights in hospital until I could piss properly... not a laugh... anyway biopsy results came negative... but imagine I am due another visit...

Re: Tarbuck diagnosed with prostate cancer ...

My dad has prostate cancer in his mid-fifties, covering 75% of his prostate. Hormone treatment followed by radiotherapy, done, all clear.
The stats are a bit misleading. My GP said that approx 50% of men over 75 will have prostate cancer but that treating them for it will probably kill them but the cancer won't as often enough it doesn't travel well.
But when they do die 'Cancer of the Prostate' is put on their death certificate when theyve actually just died of being old and worn out, as we all become eventually. Therefore it seems it's a massive killer when in effect it's quite a way down the lethality chart of cancers.
After Dad's diagnosis his consultant told him to make sure I get checked and I have an annual PSA blood test now
BTW, I'm not downplaying this, my dad had a cousin who did actually die of prostate cancer because it travelled, I'm just saying it's quite treatable and if caught early it's almost routine robitic surgery.

Not a fan of his but in comparison to cancer he's a fucking world class genius so I wish him well in his attempts to beat it. Mate of mine got it 18 months ago and might have had 6 months to live and he's still going so its all possible.

Is that all you need to do now?
My (ahem) flow has weakened lately and I've been considering making a doc appt.
She's quite hot in a 'thinking man's piece of crumpet' way and I was quite looking forward to receive her perfectly manicured finger up my rectum.

Well having recovered from it myself 4 years ago, I wish him well. If he caught it early enough, he should be ok. If you are over 50/55, do yourself a favour and get a PSA test every year. If your GP says no, demand that he signs the form for a blood test! I was lucky finding it early, make sure that you are too!
