A prostate cancer diagnosis goes beyond physical health, it touches sexual health too.
Talking to your doctor about a PSA test, a simple blood test, is the only way to catch prostate cancer in its earliest stages. If caught early, prostate cancer is highly treatable. That test exists, and keeps improving, because research never stopped.
Here’s what most people don’t know about PCF: for more than three decades, we have funded innovative prostate cancer research aimed at improving prevention, detection, and treatment, and helping men live longer, healthier lives. Every gift toward that mission helps more patients experience outcomes like Bennie’s, a prostate cancer survivor whose story exists because of years of research.
In this video, Bennie Johnson, Jr., a prostate cancer survivor, shares something many survivors experience but rarely talk about openly: how prostate cancer treatment affected his sexual health, and how he navigated that part of his journey.
Right now, 1 in 8 men in the United States will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, and for Black men, that number rises to 1 in 6. Those aren’t just statistics; they’re the reason we want you to Check the Box.
