It was a conversation which was easy. And so because it was an easy conversation, I took it in. I was listening."He went on: "So I'd said to Tam that I would follow up with my GP, and so I did. And naturally, when you speak to your GP about these things, you get asked a lot of questions. Because at the end of the day, I had no symptoms. All I did was to follow up on a conversation."‌Brian ended up being diagnosed with cancer and went through brachytherapy treatment.Asked if it was successful, he said: "Well, yes, the procedure is straightforward. You have an overnight stay, and a week later I was back at work."Tam, who previously had prostate cancer himself, told the presenters: "I raise awareness of prostate cancer on a regular basis. At the end of every opportunity I get when I'm talking to somebody, I'll raise the subject, and I'll ask, 'Have you considered it? Do you know anything about it?'‌"And I'll give them the information. So you soon find out if a driver or whatever is receptive to it, if somebody's really going to show an interest, and let them know it's maybe time that you looked at getting yourself checked out.""Too many people are losing their lives," he said.
