September Prostate Cancer Awareness Month

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. One in seven men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. Here's why you want to discover PC in the early stages:

“The 5-year survival rate for most men with local or regional prostate cancer is almost 100%. Ninety-eight percent (98%) are alive after 10 years, and 96% live for at least 15 years. 

For men diagnosed with prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body, the 5-year survival rate is 29%.” (cancer.net)

As a prostate cancer survivor, here’s what I'm doing to encourage men to get tested and reach out to men and couples coping with prostate cancer.

On Facebook I have a page primarily dedicated to men and couples who are thinking about prostate surgery or are coping with life and love without a prostate. The link for that page is: Pre & Post Surgery Support 

I host another Facebook page for men and couples coping with erectile dysfunction. The link to that page is here:

Living With or Without Erectile Dysfunction

My third Facebook page is for men looking for information about penile implants. The link for that page is here:

Penile Implant Information  

My articles written for Prostate Cancer News Today:

My website 

My blog:

My wife and I wrote two award winning books:

•I Left My Prostate in San Francisco-Where's Yours?

•Everything You Never Wanted to Know About Erectile Dysfunction and Penile Implants 

 If you're one of the approximately  174,650 men who will receive a diagnosis of prostate cancer in 2019, make sure you're diagnosed in the early stages. GET TESTED!
