This is a PSA (Public Service Announcement) regarding PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen).

Early detection is monumental!

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common cancer and the second and third leading cause of cancer death in American and European men.

Advanced (Metastatic) prostate cancer occurs when a tumor that develops in the prostate gland spreads outside the prostate. The most common sites of prostate cancer spread are to the lymph nodes and bones. This is also called metastatic prostate cancer.

Currently, no treatments can cure advanced/metastatic prostate cancer. However, there are effective ways to help slow its spread, prolong life, and control its symptoms, including immunotherapy, hormone therapy, chemotherapy, precision medicine and clinical trials.

Please get your PSA blood test!

Budget friendly drinks that won't break the bank, because most of us are trying to live within a strict budget already.

Shoot me your ideas, I'd like to try some different ideas and maybe share them on MyHopeSpace.

This would be the start of my journey with cancer. Had I not had the heart attack it would have delayed me finding out about my cancer until it was too late. Let me explain. Once I had recovered from the initial heart...
