Hi everyone. My father, grandfather and great grandfather all died from prostate cancer in their 40s. I'm 47 and I've recently had trouble going to the toilet. I always feel like I need to go and the flow is weak and intermittent. 

It might be nothing to worry about but i do know I'm high risk. I've got a blood test on the 28th of January. I'm single with not much family so I'm feeling a bit alone and worried. 

Thank you for reading this.
