@SirPatStew The world has lost one of our greatest orators. Rest now Sir Patrick. Your mortal journey may be at an end but your legacy lives on and your spirit will remain with us all .
Every September we mark Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. This year it’s more personal for me.
More than 330,000 American men this year will hear the words we did last spring when I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. By the time we found it, it had already spread to my bones.
When prostate cancer is caught early, the five-year survival is close to 100%.
So have the conversation with your doctor. Don’t put it off.
If you're at average risk, that conversation should start around 50, and the guidelines now say screening every 2 to 4 years. If you're a Black man, start it at 45 or earlier. You are nearly 70% more likely to get this disease and 2 to 4 times more likely to die from it. Which is an outrage in the richest country in the world.
If your father or your brother had prostate cancer, start the conversation at 45, and even earlier if more than one of them did.
I am deeply grateful to the doctors, nurses and other medical professionals who helped to control my cancer and who continue to take such good care of me. Their skill, dedication, and compassion mean so much. The radiation treatment from last fall worked as intended, and I continue to do the things I care about, like finishing my memoir.
Thank you to everyone who has reached out and continues to keep me and my family in your prayers. We appreciate every single one of you.
It’s my hope and prayer that by sharing our experience and being part of this important conversation, we can help save lives. Talk to your doctors. Ask the hard questions. Do it for yourself, and do it for the people who love you.
And no matter what, keep the faith. God bless you.
This is one of the best series I’ve ever seen. Tom Hiddleston is an exceptional story teller who just draws you and compels you to feel the gravity and emotion of the subject. et eximium opus #PompeiiOutOfTime@NatGeo@twhiddleston
Would you rather spend a day in ancient Pompeii or ancient Herculaneum?
Explore both in #PompeiiOutOfTime with Tom Hiddleston, now streaming on @DisneyPlus and @hulu.
@GMB For years my teenage son has used YouTube to develop his interest in science, history and geography. He has learnt more using this than he ever could in class. I agree with regulations on the platforms but against tech firms, not kids. We can’t put the genie back in the bottle!
Today marks the end of MTV after 44 years. There was nothing better than coming home from school to see the next great music video from your favorite bands. What do you remember most about MTV? 🧑🚀
