"Disappointed "

Following the current Government tv advertisement, encouraging men over 50 to have a psa check at your local doctor’s surgery as this is a disease best caught before symptoms show. On trying to do this with cvgp I was told as I haven’t any symptoms I can’t have this check and need to speak to a doctor first. At 55 I have never been offered a health check and feel extremely discouraged to try do so again. I don’t understand the response I received, contrary to the expensive government funded advertisement!
