Join these voices in fostering a community of support, providing insights and strength for one another.

Diagnosed with prostate cancer back in 2024, frightened, frozen in that year of hell, I desperately searched the internet for how this would change my world. Found cold, clinical data, and that Black men are doubly prone. Poorer communities and countries lack the resources richer ones take for granted. And through it all, many men stay silent? These findings triggered in me a critical call to action… So, here’s the thing: I’m pleased to introduce BROTHERS from Another Father: a digital initiative to provide men, their loved ones, and families with warm, authentic voices, links, insights, and innovative content to help them save their lives. And we want you to be part! Help us get the word out. Please share this video with your friends. You never know who is grappling with prostate cancer in silence. Invite friends to join the BROTHERS Community, to share their prostate cancer story – on video or in print. September is #prostatecancerawareness month. Please visit BROTHERSfaf.com to donate to #thecanadiancancersociety in support of #prostatecance #research. Share your #survivorstory. Lets bond together like family, against the #prostatecancer. #brothersfromanotherfather Video production credits: Photography: Dan Lim Zteadicam: Zefred Ansaldo Grooming: Roxanne DeNobrega Production Assist: Stephanie Pollard Edited by me;) 7:46

Time to talk. Prostate cancer and men’s mental health

Lonnie Van Horn opens up about his journey with stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer. Initially, Lonnie's symptoms were misdiagnosed as a urinary tract infection and later as prostatitis. It wasn't until unbearable pain forced him to seek urgent medical attention that a biopsy revealed the true cause—prostate cancer with a PSA level of 685. In this cancer vlog, he shares his journey of balancing aggressive treatments with the need to maintain quality of life, highlighting the importance of mental health, self-advocacy, and taking control of his own destiny.

Paul and Tim never expected to hear the words "you have cancer." After being diagnosed with prostate cancer, both men grappled with fear, uncertainty, and the desire to keep their cancer diagnoses private. In this new mini-series from The Patient Story called "Our Voices, Our Power," Paul and Tim share it all!
