United for Early Detection of Prostate Cancer
Did you know that -
A man dies every hour from cancer of the prostate!
​
Men cannot influence whether they develop prostate cancer, nor whether it will be low risk or aggressive.
But, with information they can make responsible decisions. A well-informed individual can take measures to detect cancer at an early stage before it becomes life-threatening.
My husband was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer, age 52.
Gert was perfectly healthy and rarely fell ill.
His zen attitude and zest for life made him a magnet; he radiated pure positive energy.
Despite the battle we led against this disease, which proved fatal, there was no hope; the truth is I lost Gert because he did not get an early diagnosis. If cancer is not detected early it can be life-threatening. This association is founded in memory of my beloved husband with the hope that what I learned from our tragedy will prove valuable in allowing other men to avoid this horrifying disease which can be prevented if detected at an early stage.
