General Advice for those with concerns about cancer

England’s top cancer doctor has urged people not to hesitate to get checked as new research revealed that nearly half of the public have concerns about seeking help during the coronavirus pandemic.
Quote from NHS web site dated 29th April 2020

If you have any symptoms associated with cancer you are strongly advised to see your GP as soon as possible. The NHS is anxious to re-assure people that it is providing cancer diagnosis and treatments as best as normal. This obviously includes prostate cancer.

University Hospitals Coventry & Warwickshire is treating men as normal.
