Prostate cancer affects one in nine men worldwide, making it the second most common form of cancer among males. Despite its prevalence, many men struggle to discuss their diagnosis due to stigma and fear. Recent high-profile cases have sparked a need for open conversation.
Leslie, a 46-year-old DJ from Britain, shares his experience as a black man diagnosed with prostate cancer. He speaks with Dr. [oncology specialist’s name], an expert from Nairobi, Kenya, about why African men are disproportionately affected by the disease.
Guy Jenkins, a 65-year-old man, also battles prostate cancer and receives guidance from his daughter, a pharmacist, on coping with its side effects like erectile dysfunction and incontinence after surgery. These conversations shed light on the reality of living with prostate cancer, dispelling common myths and encouraging men to break their silence.
