In an article by Terry Mason a urologist and a leading advocate for African- American men with prostate cancer points out that the statistics on prostate cancer are horrendous - AA’s have a 60 percent higher risk and twice as like to die of it. I became aware of this when one of our Pals presented his “My Journey” to the support group at University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. Dr. Mason puts it in context for us Notes from the Center of an Epidemic
One of the ProtonPals members reviews the article and reflects on the data and his treatment at the M.D. Anderson Proton Therapy Center.
