This is a call to all men especially Black men, ask your GP for a PSA blood test which is so quick and easy to do and it saves lives. That’s why I’m supporting @ProstateUK #NHS campaign #MensHealth. Sending virtual hugs if you are suffering ❤️❤️

Too many Black men are dying from a curable disease. Baroness @FloellaBenjamin is helping us campaign to change NHS guidelines so Black men have a greater chance of receiving a lifesaving earlier diagnosis. ➡️ Learn more: bit.ly/3DMCaVa #ProstateCancer l #MensHealth
