I should say at this point that I am no stranger to prostate cancer. In fact, I met Dave at a Prostate Cancer Education Council golf tournament. As fate would have it, I was placed in his fouresome, and we became golfing pals. I also became involved in the cause to not only educate guys (and their families) regarding prostate cancer but also in the research to help treat and ultimately find a cure. Through my association with Dave and the PCEC I learned that 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. If you are a minority, the odds are 1 in 3. Nearly 200,000 American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2010, and 1 in 35 will die from it - PRIMARILY BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT GET A SIMPLE BLOOD TEST! Guys - this is not a macho thing. You owe it to your loved ones to get checked. Ladies - press your man to get checked! Catch this demon early and the odds of survival are good.
