It’s easy to put it off — 'I'll do it next week,'» Ferguson explained before sharing that it was her sister who urged her to go to the doctor. «My sister, who's wonderful from Australia, I always normally do what she says because she gets so cranky.

I need you to go.»In addition to highlighting her work in cancer research, Ferguson also made mention of her father, who died of prostate cancer and his insistence on getting screened.«My father died of prostate cancer, and it was very interesting because he went on the radio and he said on the radio, 'Please, please, please go and get checked.' It doesn't matter.

Go and get checked. It doesn't matter what you're doing. Don't say it's not going to happen to you. Doesn't matter if you feel fine.
