So , I know this is not PC specific, but it's cancer related (skin melanoma) and really caught my attention.

Does anyone know if there's something similar done for PC patients? Something along the lines of "hey guys, get a PSA test"? I think it would be really useful to help persuade guys out there to get tested.

I'm not sure the posting guidelines here, so apologies if this is out of line.

enjoy

no apologies needed at all, njbmwgs

there have been very few commercials, video shorts to encourage PCa testing....

- we are still at the "embarrassed at anything below the waist" stage when it comes to male empowerment .... we need to work on something similar to the female empowerment for breast cancer awareness ... we are all aware of breasts, correct?
:-)
-we need to make everyone aware of prostates
"it's 11 o'clock.. do you know where your prostate is?"
:-)

thanks for sharing,

-p.s. and on a lighter note..

That is a very powerful message! I hope many will take it to heart. I have many moles and often wonder if a cancer lurks in some of them. I try to keep an eye on those.

Thanks for posting.

I was only able to see about 30 seconds of this so I found the entire video on YouTube here:

Being red haired, freckled, and having had several bad sunburns as a kid, I'm waiting for the other cancer shoe to drop. This video was of particular interest to me. Please share it with your family, it's important and well presented.

that was really frightening and sad. Brought me back to where I was 6-7 months ago when i found out about my cancer. Brought tears to my eyes. And of course I'll be scheduling a visit to a dermatologist now.
