    What to do to notice cancer symptoms

    On this episode of the Cancer Killers Podcast, Youarn talks about what to do to notice cancer symptoms. Creating a habit of listening to your body, and talking with those close to you. Cancer can be quiet, and you need to learn to listen carefully.  Show notes: Welcome Tease last week’s sneak peek for the end of today’s podcast - DISPELLING THE MYTHS ABOUT TESTS - WHAT KINDS OF TESTS THERE ARE, AND THE BIGGEST MISTAKE MEN MAKE WHEN IT COMES TO THIS After the intro rolls though, we’re gonna go right to the very start of it all. Noticing Symptoms.  Noticing Symptoms Listening to your body Early detection - prevention is better than cure You're not as young as you used to be When something just doesn't feel right Emotional influence over physical health? What to do? Incorporating an awareness check into your routine from mid-30's after fun 20’s  **BREAK** Noticing Symptoms cont. Listening to others Speaking to your partner and friends Speak to relatives - does it run in the family? Speaking to a physician  **BREAK** The digital rectal exam isn’t the first part of the process!!! First is a PSA blood test Followed up by both or either an ultrasound or an MRI ONLY THEN, if things seem to be going in that direction, will someone put on the gloves! There are 2 mistakes here: THE BIGGEST MISTAKE is conflating the digital exam with manliness or losing it NOT GETTING TESTED BECAUSE OF THAT BELIEF!!! You life could depend on it  Youarn update - chemo last week Surprised by the result, although no sleep Worked the next day Doctors said that 2nd onwards will be more challenging Blood test today for 2nd jab tomorrow
