Prostate Cancer a Family Affair

Many of you are aware that I am a prostate cancer survivor. I know some of you have also traveled the journey. I was diagnosed and treated in 2016 and remain cancer-free. Thankfully my doctors caught it early before it had the opportunity to spread. I was vigilant well before my diagnosis with regular checkups mainly because my dad and uncle had previously been diagnosed.

As men, and as black men in particular, we tend to wait much longer than we should to see the doctor. We all know brothers who have health challenges but put off making a call to the doctor. But cancer doesn’t wait.

My dad and I share our journey in our new book, Survivors’ Stories, Prostate Cancer, A Family Affair. Get more information on our journey and purchase the book at www.derrickbutts.com and then let’s talk.

Speaking Engagements – I would be more than happy to schedule time to talk with your church, Men’s/Health group, and/ or organization about being proactive with your prostate health and to share my journey. Please have them email me at info@ derrickbutts.com to begin the discussion.

Thank you Brothers for your support!

Brother Derrick Butts
