The hardest part for many men isn't the blood test.
It's the possibility of hearing something they don't want to hear.
I know that feeling.
If you're putting it off because you're worried about what the result might be, you're not alone.
But knowing gives you options. Not knowing doesn't.
If you've been meaning to get checked, make the appointment.

@NextStepKit Great idea.

Not every good day has to be a milestone.

Sometimes it's just a few quiet minutes where cancer isn't the first thing on your mind.

[Between Appointments @BetweenAppts]

As someone living with advanced prostate cancer, there's one part of this I agree with completely:
The blood test is the easy part.
The waiting for the result is harder.
The fear of what it might mean is harder.
But if you've been putting it off, make the appointment.
Knowing gives you choices.

Father's Day can be complicated.

Some fathers are celebrating.

Some are sitting in treatment chairs.

Some are waiting for scan results.

Some are missing the fathers they wish were still here.

Wherever today finds you, we hope you're being gentle with yourself.

Happy Father's Day from Between Appointments™.

@ClarksonsFarm1 Cancer changes the meaning of ordinary words.

"In remission" becomes one of the most beautiful phrases you'll ever hear.

Delighted for Jeremy and his family.

@IDFsoldiergirl That would be amazing for so many people.

The appointment takes an hour.

The fear before it can last weeks.

The appointment takes an hour.

The waiting for results can feel endless.

The appointment takes an hour.

The life you're trying to hold together between them is everything.

That's the gap we're here for.

Nobody cares more about your
health than you.
- Not your doctor.
- Not your insurance company.
- Not the healthcare system.

You decide how much you move.
How much you sleep.
How you manage stress.

Fix your habits. Fix your life.

[Between Appointments @BetweenAppts]

One thing illness teaches you is that life rarely arrives in the neat order we expected.

It's messy.
It's uncertain.
It's often unfair.

But there is still love.
There is still kindness.
There is still hope.

Sometimes that's enough to get through today.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

A surefire way to make a bad situation worse is to continue replaying it in your mind.

The damage is done. The only thing that matters now is making the best choice given your current position.

Next play mentality.

Never Judge.

You never know what someone else is carrying.

[James DiNicolantonio @drjamesdinic]

People spend thousands upgrading
their homes,
their cars,
their phones.

But not the thing they live in 24/7…

Their body.

Feed it well.
Move it often.
Rest it enough.

Because your body is the only place
you’ll ever truly live.

[James DiNicolantonio @drjamesdinic]

Your health is the only wealth that
truly matters.

Money lost can be earned again.
Opportunities missed can return.
Mistakes can be corrected.

But your health doesn’t always offer
second chances.

Protect it now,

Because the price of neglect is always
greater than the cost of prevention.
