We know there’s a lot of noise right now, both online and around events happening this summer. So we wanted to remind our community that we are here for you as this period of time can be especially challenging for folks within queer, trans, and Two-Spirit communities.

On #LGBTEldersday, we celebrate the tremendous impact of trailblazing LGBT elders. The rights we have today are because of them. We have a responsibility to protect their gains and keep us from moving backward in a time of coordinated attacks on our community's rights.

The ultimate goal is to prevent men from ever developing prostate cancer. Lifestyle changes can reduce the risk of developing aggressive/fatal prostate cancer. #BHM

Delayed prostate cancer exams and treatment are as deadly as COVID-19.
Don't let COVID-19 raise the Prostate Cancer Death Rate.
Delayed prostate cancer exams and treatment are more likely to kill you than COVID-19.
Avoid crowds but don't avoid your doctors. #prostatecancer

A - Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is commonly prescribed to men with systemic prostate cancer. Men on ADT experience many side effects from the reduced testosterone. @LifeOnADT has excellent resources on information on how to manage ADT side effects. #AtoZADT

B - Bicalutamide (Casodex), a non-steroidal antiandrogen, is often prescribed for a weeks when one starts on ADT by taking an LHRH agonist to prevent the “flare” phenomenon (worsening of symptoms due to increased testosterone). #AtoZADT

function and sexual satisfaction"
