It seems ages since last I communicated but
life seems quite busy. Nationwide we have now done 12,500 blood
tests with 282 known early Prostate Cancers found, treated and in
many cases cured.
We have a very full programme for the next
couple of months and hope to do 2,000 more such tests. We are
gradually "hitting" higher levels as you will see as this now
includes The House of Lords.
Dorothy and I have also recently been invited by the Queen to tea at
Buckingham Palace (I didn't take any needles or syringes and didn't
manage to ask Prince Phillip if he has had a P.S.A. test!)

It is
with great pride and pleasure that we can announce that
David Baxter-Smith (the Governor) has been presented
with the Worcestershire Ambassadors Pride of
Worcestershire Award 2009 for his work across the
country with PSA testing and Prostate Cancer
awareness. He was presented with it last week at the
Worcester Ambassadors Summer Ball by the Lord Lieutenant
of Worcestershire Michael Brinton. You will all be
encouraged to learn that he accepted the award on behalf
of those men, including his father, who have died from
prostate cancer, who are currently fighting the disease
and who are awaiting results etc to hear if they have
the disease. Not forgetting the men to are going to be
introduced to the concept of PSA awareness in the near
future!!!
