seissouls:Hello, everyone! Did you know that September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month? Just here to send a few facts your way! [Disclaimer: Masculine signifiers used for clarity and simplicity. Transgender women and otherwise AMAB individuals also share these risks.]- 1 out of 7 men will be diagnosed with Prostate Cancer in their lifetime.- Cancer is the second leading cause of death in men, with Prostate Cancer being the second leading cause of cancer in men.- Prostate Cancer, despite having a similar distant survival rate as Breast Cancer (29.3% vs 26.3%, respectively), only receives less than half as much funding.- However, if the cancer is caught while localized in the first 5 years of its emergence, the survival rate can be almost 100%! Unfortunately, many men are too embarrassed to come forward to their doctors.Be supportive of the men in your life and encourage them to undergo regularly scheduled screenings. ♡♡♡- Charities you may consider donating to: http://www.pcf.org/http://www.foremankind.org/http://prostatecanceruk.org/ -- source link
