That is the survival rate for prostate cancer when it’s caught early.

The math is simple, but the action requires courage. Too often, men wait until they feel symptoms to check in with a doctor. But an aggressive stage 2 diagnosis doesn't wait for you to feel sick. A routine PSA screening and a conversation with a doctor can turn a "two years to live" scare into a lifetime of survivorship.

You have the power to protect your future, your family, and your peace of mind. Let’s change the statistics together this week.

Drop a 💙 if you’ve had your checkup this year, or tag a brother who needs this reminder.

👇 TAKE ACTION:
📞 Schedule your screening: Call Affinia Healthcare at 314-814-8700.
🌐 Get informed: Head over to tenstl.org to find support groups and other resources.

We kicked off Men’s Health Month, reminding you that no man has to face his health journey alone. As we are now halfway through Week 2, we’re focusing on the power of knowledge and early detection.

Did you know that a simple Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) screening is one of the most effective tools we have? It’s a quick, simple blood test that can spot early signs of prostate cancer long before symptoms ever appear. This is especially vital for Black men, who face a disproportionately higher risk and benefit the most from early detection.

Taking an hour out of your week for a checkup isn't just about you; it’s about being there for the people who look up to you, count on you, and love you. Let's turn awareness into action this week.
