'A butt full of cancer vs a finger up your bottom'- men urged to get prostate checked
"Do you rather a butt full of cancer, or a finger up your bottom for an annual check-up? I mean it boils down to that, we need to get past some of the cultural silliness and the stigmatism that is killing us," he said on Thursday, April 30, 2020, edition of his 'Honestly Speaking' radio show.
Prostate Cancer leading cancer in Men
"You gotta go to the doctor", Skelton-Cline urged to men following comments from President of the BVI Cancer Association, Mrs Gloria A. Fahie, that prostate cancer is the second leading cancer in the Virgin Islands, one that primarily effects mean.
According to Mrs Fahie, "Right now the most prevalent cancer for women is breast cancer and second to that is prostate cancer and that's in the Virgin Islands," she said.
"My drawback with these cancers, is I don't know what else we can do as a group or individuals because we try to educate the public as much as possible, sometimes when persons' diagnosis reaches to a doctor, it's like stage three or stage four and that is very disheartening."
She urged the public to consult with the doctor as often as possible when differences are detected in the body, "Please check it out, it may could or look insignificant but in the end, it would save your life," Ms Fahie underscored.
Lung cancer gaining momentum - Ms Fahie
Calling the stats worrying, moderator Skelton-Cline pointed to the possibility of Virgin Islanders not caring enough about cancer and are not doing annual visits they should, which can save lives.
According to Ms Fahie, lung cancer is also now also gaining momentum in the territory, with some symptoms being a persistent caught which can also be cancerous and urged the local community to get it checked.

Prolonged use of the mask produces hypoxia.
Breathing over and over exhaled air turns into carbon dioxide, which is why we feel dizzy.
This intoxicates the user and much more when he must move, carry out displacement actions.
It causes discomfort, loss of reflexes and conscious thought.
It generates great fatigue.
In addition, oxygen deficiency causes glucose breakdown and endangered lactic acid rise.
Some people drive their car with the mask on, that is very dangerous, because, the stale air can make the driver lose consciousness.
It is recommended to use it only if you have someone in front or very close, and it is important to remember to lift it every 10 minutes to continue feeling healthy.
It is counterproductive for people who serve the public for 8 hours, as they are intoxicating themselves without knowing it.
All lives are important.! "
That prevention does not lead you to another problem ... let's use the mask knowingly.

Men, if my husband can get over his squeamishness about this procedure, anyone can.

A lot of positive cases were captured early through those screening and received treatment and continued follow up.
PSA test alone cannot diagnose prostate cancer. It is possible, but not always as there could be other causes for high PSA levels. That is why Digital Rectal Exam(DRE) is recommended to detect any abnormality. Men know your risk, speak to your Doctor or other health professionals, reach out to your Cancer Society for information, not the nay sayers.
I have always according to the screening guidelines, encouraged family members and friends to get tested. Get the facts. Protect your Prostate.
