The Conversation is the Medicine
I keep coming back to Tim's story this week.
He was 44. A wife, two young kids, a normal busy life. The only thing off was an ache in his shoulder and hip, and who among us has not blamed an ache on a long week?
His doctor added a PSA test to a blood draw. Normal is around 1 or 2, they do not start to worry until it is above 4 ng/mL. His was 64. By the time they knew, it was advanced.
I was lucky. A friend in an airport lounge noticed my problem and said something to me. It turned out I did not have cancer and my PSA is still below 1. But.....Tim did not get that tap on the shoulder until later than he should have.
Sometimes we all need a gentle tap on the shoulder to let us see what has been in front of us all along.
That is really what this community is - the tap on the shoulder. So let me ask you: who is the man in your life you have been meaning to nudge about a check-up, and what has stopped you saying it? Tell me below. Maybe we can find the words together.
