The programme covers anyone between the ages of 60 and 74 and comes up round a bout your birthday.
The chances of any problem are very low,but if you’ve got it,it’s best to know as early as possible.
I’ll keep you informed,got to go to the john right now…

Well that’s it,posted it todayAll I can do now is hope I hear nothing more.

Ayup,I did mine a few weeks back,got a reply a week later,all clear!! Still spending a lot of time on the bog,but at least I know its not the big C.Maybe I will try and eat more healthy.All the best with your test. Joe.

Got my result back at the weekend,ALL CLEAR!.

I do every Year a total Health Check.

First at all,You just have to do it when you get over 40,You need your Health up to Date for DVLA Medical Check,as well as for gaining a long life,but also to find any Abnormality early enough.
