Former prime minister says he wants to join ranks of those pressing for more checks on men who may have disease
David Cameron has revealed he was treated for prostate cancer as he called for a targeted screening programme.
The former prime minister told the Times: “I want to, as it were, come out. I want to add my name to the long list of people calling for a targeted screening programme.
“I don’t particularly like discussing my personal intimate health issues, but I feel I ought to. Let’s be honest. Men are not very good at talking about their health. We tend to put things off. We’re embarrassed to talk about something like the prostate, because it’s so intricately connected with sexual health and everything else.
“I sort of thought, well, this has happened to you, and you should lend your voice to it.
