Prostate Cancer Awareness Month

This is a bit off topic, but I don't care. If I can be a part of saving a life, then I am happy that a random post make it on my site.

I was listening to talk radio here in my home town when the 2 guests from the hospital explained why they was on today. September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month and so I wanted to share with you, my readers what I learned today. Although I am not at risk for prostate cancer (being a woman and all), what I heard was alarming expecially as it relates to the Black community.

Prostate Cancer does not exhibit any early warning symptoms!!!! By the time a man exhibits symptoms, its about too late for any non-evasive treatment options to both save his life and preserve his "natural" sexual function! Fellas, yes- you read that right!

Men, please go get screened. It is a simple blood test and/or rectal exam. Trying to avoid the rectal exam is not worth killing yourself over.  Am I right, ladies? Who likes the pap smear? Its uncomfortable, embarrassing but necessary and so is the rectal exam. So stop being a big baby and bend over! take it like a man- save your life. Get screened today!
