Prostate Cancer: The Conversation Men Keep Avoiding (EP 128)

Prostate cancer is one of those subjects many men would rather avoid, until it lands in their own doctor’s office. Michael Bovarnick knows that feeling firsthand. He was diagnosed 23 years ago, had his prostate removed, lived with the anxiety of ongoing testing, and then learned the cancer had returned two decades later.

Michael’s story is not just about cancer. It is about resilience, being proactive, and getting past the silence that can hurt men and their relationships. He shares why PSA testing, education, asking questions, and involving your spouse or support system can make a real difference when fear wants to take over.
