February is National Cancer Prevention Month. Men, did you know that 1 in 8 of you will be diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point in your life? With early detection, there is a 90%+ chance of cure. In my book, link below, I discuss prostate health, testing, treatment methods and my journey to beat cancer. It is educational for both men and their partners and notes some of what you may go through in the process. Buy the book, get educated and get tested!

You need to be your own advocate for your health. https://lnkd.in/g3U5c__s
