For years, Errol Bennett feared a doctorâs finger more than prostate cancer, but following months of concerning symptoms, though worried, he is still not ready to get screened.
âA the finger business. Mi nah lie to you. Mi just never comfortable with the idea of nobody, man or woman, putting dem finger inna mi bottom,â Bennett told THE STAR. âMi know is a doctor and is them work, but mentally as a man? Mi just cya get past that.â
Bennett has not been diagnosed with prostate cancer and his symptoms may be caused by several other conditions. But after years of avoiding prostate screening, they are hard to ignore.
