PSA Testing

The Rotary Club of Reading
Published by Nigel in News · 29 November 2020
The male members over 40 might be interested in this. Also anyone who knows a man over 40! So that’s everybody in effect.
I recently received an email regarding home PSA tests from the charity behind the testing that the Lions Club organised in 2016 and 2017 to say they had perfected a home testing kit in lieu of testing events which have obviously been cancelled this year. (The Lions Club used a different organisation or organisations to process the 2018 and 2019 events apparently.)
I signed up for one, received it, took my blood sample and sent it back. They processed it on receipt and emailed the results within 24 hours. Interestingly my account also had a record of the previous two tests I had done through them.
The blood sampling is a little fiddly, necessitating “milking” your little finger to collect blood droplets in a tiny tube.
But if you think you can cope with that, I thoroughly recommend this service.

Tip: make sure your hands are warm and stand up to ensure you hand is below your heart.
(You may receive an email from them directly if you were, like me, one of the participants in the earlier test, but hopefully you have found the information that I have successfully used the procedure helpful.)
