Join host Carrie Lee Astwood and Rhydell Paynter from Prostate Awareness Bermuda as they discuss prostate health, early detection, breaking stigmas, and practical steps men can take to improve their overall health.

Prostate Awareness Bermuda is a support group for men and has as its mission “to provide support to men who have issues related to the prostate including but not limited to, being diagnosed, being treated or are rehabilitating from a prostate related condition. This could be prostatic cancer or BPH which is benign prostatic hyperplasia or commonly known as an enlarged prostate. The Group, which has approximately 25 members, meets once a month: presently on the second Thursday at the Blue Water Anglers Club. Providing an opportunity to discuss men’s health in a safe and judgement- free forum. It offers participants the opportunity to meet like-minded persons and share concerns related to the promulgation of Men’s health. PAB intends as we develop to become an advocate for equal treatment for men’s health in addition to our support role. Government has a declared statement of having data driven policy development. So to date we have partnered with the Daily Male Free Clinic and CariGenetics encouraging cutting-edge research and community engagement and education. Hopefully this relationship will provide the decision makers with the empirical information to develop the appropriate policies and programmes as preventative initiatives are more cost effective than reacting to medical treatments.
