About this listen
Prostate cancer is usually readily treatable and has high survival rates, especially when it is caught and treated early. When Jon Remy was diagnosed with prostate cancer, he was prepared to do whatever he needed to do for as long as it took. But after only two weeks of leading-edge radiation therapy at City of Hope Orange County Lennar Foundation Cancer Center, Jon rang the bell to celebrate successfully completing his treatment. In this episode, Jon shares his message for men on the importance of early detection and treatment. There are no universal guidelines for prostate cancer screening, so men should speak with their physician so they can make an individualized decision on getting screened. This is particularly important for men over age 45 and men in higher-risk groups, including Black men and men with a family history of prostate cancer.
