WOW!
 

RIP Brother King!

Men get your annual check-ups done, and pay attention to your prostate health. Even if you get a glowing report, get a second opinion. Go to a place like Quest Diagnostics and have them do a PSA Test for that second opinion. DO NOT solely rely on your doctor to get it right. They make mistakes too! Keep track of your PSA count and be aware if it begins to elevate.

I can not be more clear to you black men than I am. Be careful with white doctors when it comes to health tendencies associated with being black.
