Cancer charity president praises Monarch's openness
The president of a Manx cancer charity says the King's recent diagnosis serves as a reminder of the importance of getting checked.
David Gawne says the monarch being public about his battle will likely spark a wave of people seeking medical attention.
His Majesty's openness is seen as a catalyst for breaking down barriers to discussing men's health in particular.
Mr Gawne says it's important to not let worry overshadow sensible precautions:
