John Tiernan was disagnosed earlier this year.
A Westmeath man is urging men in their late 40's and early 50's get checked for prostate cancer.
Athlone's John Tiernan was diagnosed this year after booking a PSA blood test which checks for a high amount of a specific antigen in order to possibly detect the disease.
It follows the release of Movember's Real Face of Men’s Health report showing around 34% of men felt a stigma around seeking help with their physical well being.
Mr Tiernan says his family kept it in perspective for him:
