Cumberland councillor urges men to test for prostate cancer

Paul Atkinson from Blyth, Northumberland, also has prostate cancer, but it is too late for it to be cured in his case.

He was told on his birthday in 2022 his cancer had spread and he had between two and five years to live, although he is responding well to treatment.

“I was waking up to go to the bathroom more often but I just didn’t realise that was one of the symptoms,” he said.

“People of my generation, and my father’s generation, didn’t talk about things like that.

“Now I urge every man, especially if they’re over 50, to get checked.”
