ANOTHER prostate cancer testing day is set to take place at Turf Moor at the end of the month.
The Barry Kilby Prostate Cancer Appeal will be holding another testing event and has asked men over the age of 45 to come along and get tested.
The prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test is a test that measures the amount of PSA there is in the blood, which can identify the risk of having the disease.
One of the men who received an abnormal result following one of the appeal’s testing events last year was Burnley FC’s PA announcer, Ian Bannister, said: "I went along to Turf Moor expecting to get the all-clear.
"Within three weeks, however, I had a diagnosis of early stage prostate cancer.
"Had I not attended the session, it may not have been detected until it was at a more advanced stage."
The event will take place between 10am and 1pmon Saturday, September 30, at the cost of a £5.
