“Time goes on. So whatever you’re going to do, do it. DO IT NOW. Don’t wait.”
Robert De Niro

September is National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers for men. Some risk factors for prostate cancer are age, family history and race. 

There are usually no early warning signs for prostate cancer; the growing tumor does not affect anything to cause pain. It is important to consult with your doctor to review your risk factors and to discuss screening options. 

Education is key. Be proactive to educate and raise awareness about prostate cancer. It could help save a life.
