Many thanks for being so open about what some perceive to be a taboo subject. I'm in the RAF and as aircrew, we take an annual medical. It was only by accident that a colleague (also over 50) informed me that once you'd reached 50, you could request the extra blood test screening for this. I've had it checked now for the last 2 years, nothing to worry about I've been told. However, is the blood test for this sufficiently accurate or should I be slightly more concerned?
Wishing you a full and speedy recovery!
