GEORGIA PROSTATE CANCER COALITION INC Details
Our members are survivors or family members of survivors who are passionate about eliminating deaths from prostate cancer in Georgia. Prostate cancer attacked us, but we fought back by going to the doctor. We got screened. We learned about our PSA score, and kept up with it over time. When we learned that we had cancer, we won because we found it early. We are alive today due to early detection and timely action. We all feel fortunate to have a high quality of life after treatment and want others to have it. Note that as volunteers, we receive no compensation for our educational efforts. Mission: Because Prostate Cancer is curable if detected early. Georgia Prostate Cancer Coalition wants to eliminate deaths due to prostate cancer in Georgia Goal: For all men to get a baseline PSA test and DRE at age 40 and consult with their doctor on the frequency of further tests. For African-American men, or men having a history of prostate or other cancers in their family, age 35 would be recommended.
