A painter and decorator, Jeff Titmarsh, aged 67, has shared his experience of being diagnosed with prostate cancer, a condition detected thanks to the sharp observation of his clients. These clients, both retired doctors, noticed Jeff's unusually frequent trips to the toilet while he was painting their home.
Jeff had been urinating approximately 12 times daily, a symptom he attributed to aging. However, his clients urged him to consult his GP. Subsequent tests revealed stage four prostate cancer that had spread to his bones. After undergoing chemotherapy and hormone treatments, Jeff has entered remission.
Now in remission, Jeff is dedicated to fundraising for prostate cancer charities and raising awareness about the disease's symptoms. He emphasizes that frequent urination was his sole symptom and encourages prompt medical checks for any similar concerns.
