Peter Ellis: The Test That Saved My Life | Prostate Cancer
Peter Ellis: The Test That Saved My Life | Prostate Cancer
What if one simple decision could save your life?
This Saturday on What's On Your Mind, DJ Val and Olive welcome special guest Peter Ellis for an important, honest and deeply personal conversation about men's health, prostate cancer and the importance of taking responsibility for our wellbeing.
As Peter approached his 50th birthday, he decided to have a routine health check. He had no symptoms and no particular concerns about prostate cancer. But a last-minute decision to have a PSA blood test changed everything.
The result led to further investigations and a prostate cancer diagnosis.
In this powerful conversation, Peter shares his journey from diagnosis through treatment and recovery, including the emotional impact, the difficult decisions and the challenges men rarely discuss openly.
We explore the importance of understanding PSA results, the particular risks faced by Black men, how families can support loved ones and why men shouldn't be afraid to ask questions about their health.
Peter's message is simple: Don't wait until something goes wrong before taking your health seriously.
This is a conversation for men, women, partners, families and anyone who cares about the men in their lives.
Join DJ Val and Olive for another thought-provoking edition of What's On Your Mind.
