King Charles - Benign Prostate Enlargement

Yes good for him.

Catherine also in hospital recovering from surgery

Meanwhile, on the NHS, DH waits and waits and waits ........

Not being flippant, but don't things come in 3s? We should brace ourselves for another important Royal story.

That thought crossed my mind as well.

I won't post my prediction 😂

All good wishes to King Charles. Good on him making it public.

Of course a King should get priority treatment - we couldn't do without him...hmm !

There is always one.

Good luck to him. I can only imagine what that examination is like for men. Apparently it's no picnic. Agree a good think yo highlight getting one's prostate checked.

Fingers crossed all goes well for HM

If he had waited for an NHS surgery slot, someone would be one place further down the queue... I don't have private medicine these days, but don't grudge anyone who can pay - they have made their contributions to the NHS as well.

I wish him well.
I don’t begrudge him having private treatment. If I could afford it, and needed treatment, I’d go privately too.

Good for men that the King made his condition public. Wishing him well.

Much easier than the examinations we women have to go through to give birth.

When my husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer, the consultant told us that almost all men will have a problem with their prostate at some point, though not necessarily cancer. I'm glad the King has made his condition public. My husband was unconcerned about the examination. Although, it wasn't nice, he wanted to live. I would say to men don't die of embarrassment. As well as my husband, my brother-in-law has prostate cancer and another brother-in-law has problems due to an enlarged prostate.

A friend of ours has had the same diagnosis and has been waiting for almost two years fort an operation

Good that it’s made public. Must have been noticed if he was popping to the loo every 20 minutes. His manservant in waiting or whatever they’re called, will have been kept busy.

Making it public is good but how many more men will be on the long, long, getting longer waiting list for treatment and how many will have turned to cancer or died whilst waiting
Everything’s fine if you re born with a silver spoon
But I wish him well and think he’s done the right thing to speak out previous generations wouldn’t have
Perhaps he can go one step further and make some speeches about helping the NHS and give the government (HIS government) a kick up the a…

It’s the same the world over . If you can pay , you get in sooner. Not fair but that’s life I suppose. I doubt it will ever change.

No it won’t change Nana8 but that doesn’t make it right does it?

He’s definitely a role model, he even took time to respond to my letter

There is no evidence that men with benign prostate enlargement are at a higher risk of prostate cancer than those without the condition. (Source NHS)
