MEN FROM ALL walks of life turned up in their numbers at Cancer Support Services this morning to get their Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) test done.

President Kathy-Ann Kelly-Springer said they had tested more than 100 men within the first hour of opening the Belmont Road, St Michael, clinic.

The men waited patiently for their turn in chairs in the office, on the porch and spilled into the yard.

Kelly-Springer said they have noticed an increase in men turning up for testing, and that more men are slotting the PSA test on their calendars among the important things they need to do for the year.
