Did you know Thanksgiving is also National Family Health History Day? As we gather around the table, let's talk about our family's health history, especially regarding prostate cancer. Family history significantly impacts prostate cancer risk, as men with a first-degree relative diagnosed with prostate cancer face a 2 to 3 times higher risk. Take a moment to complete our Prostate Cancer Family Tree—this valuable tool can help you map out your family's cancer history, including breast, ovarian, and pancreatic cancers, which share genetic links with prostate cancer. Understanding your family health history empowers you to make informed decisions about screening and lifestyle choices. While you can't change your genes, you can take proactive steps to manage your risk. This holiday, serve up some important health conversations alongside the turkey—it could be the most valuable dish at the table.

Urgent Call to Action: Protect Veterans' Prostate Cancer Care 🇺🇸 Since 2016, the VA's Precision Oncology Program for Cancer of the Prostate (POPCaP) has been at the forefront of providing specialized care for Veterans battling prostate cancer. This innovative program, developed in partnership with the Prostate Cancer Foundation, delivers: 🔹 State-of-the-art therapies through clinical trials 🔹 Comprehensive genetic sequencing for metastatic cases 🔹 Specialized care at over 20 locations nationwide However, this vital program faces a critical challenge. The VA is considering merging POPCaP with other oncology programs, potentially limiting Veterans' access to specialized prostate cancer care. As advocates for prostate cancer awareness and treatment, we must act now. Your voice can help preserve this essential program and ensure our Veterans continue receiving the specialized care they deserve. Take action by emailing your legislator in one click at p2a.co/00wCF2X. #ZEROProstateCancer #VeteransHealth #ProstateCancer #Healthcare #Veterans #SavePOPCaP
