As a young prostate cancer (PC) survivor, I want to spread the word about early prostate cancer screening. Early detection for prostate cancer involves a simple blood test and a physical exam. It takes about 10 minutes and is covered by health insurance in many states. To all my 40+ brothas (and the sistas who love them) out there, check out "10 THINGS AFRICAN-AMERICANS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT PROSTATE CANCER" from Zero- The Project to End Prostate Cancer. zerocancer.org

Yep, those are some of the reasons I don't go. Also when I bring up preventative measures to my doctor, I'm belittled by my decision for alternative care. Nah, I'll stick to the free screenings and provide my self-care.
