I have been pondering the past days in particular of how or who I would need to aproach to make a difference. We have the Breastcancer walks - yet I have never heard of anything of the like for Prostate Cancer - Is it that women are more open in discussing their problems and fears and men tend to keep it to themselfes?The education regarding Prostate problems and cancer should be stressed to yound men long before the age of 40. I stress proper diet along with early PSA  testing to any young male - for their and their loved ones future!EV Find an Answer Thu, 03 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT
