WILL YOU?

Black men did you wake up feeling Blacknificent today?

Did you wake up feeling great?

So why every day, do you go about your business while tempting fate.

Hmmm I wonder how many of you are brave enough to check your prostate

Are you scared or worried does it put your ego in a state of shock?

GET IT CHECKED

Now there are stories and myths, however some of the real facts are this

The first step would only need to be a simple blood sample

PSA TEST This Stands for Prostate specific Antigen

This is need to help the lab determine

If there is a problem and the nature of it

This is real understand me for sure in the black community Prostate Cancer is affecting ONE in FOUR

GET IT CHECKED

Now the facts also say there is no normal or abnormal levels of PSA in the blood and most doctors consider levels of 4.0 Nano grams of PSA per milliliter of blood ng/mL

Please do it without delay acton speaks louder than words or thoughts act today

GET IT CHECKED

I was with a man the other day and this was what he had to say

If you was driving a car right now and all the check engine lights was flashing logically it would be to your Mechanic you would be dashing……………

To get it all checked out to know that you car is road worthy

GET IT CHECKED

We are more than ready to get that MOT cert.

A blood test does not really hurt

So why when it comes time to MOT You

Do you make excuses that only really tempt your own fate.

All this talk about Friends and Pals and breadrins and mates

If you really care about these people get it Checked, You know Your Prostate.

You will not have top pull a Sword out of a Stone,

That little injection is not even enough to make you moan and grown

GET IT CHECKED

There can be life after Prostate cancer and everyone knows someone affected by this, however most will not act until it comes real close.

At the news of the death of a dear friend or when your body is now the host.

This affects you, me and our community

We must spread this message and show unity.

We need to implant seeds in the Youngsters so it becomes normal practice

We must dispel the Myths and promote that facts

Lets Share and Share this Message via all forms of social media

Let this message be a brain feeder instead of a mind bender

GET IT CHECKED

I did say there is life after this and of course I have living evidence.

I think you guys all know this chap this gentle Fella

He is a Greece Monkey

Yeap I’m talking about Errol Mackellar.

Snoring, a concerned wife, a visit to the doctors and a Leaflet on the Shelf

Was how this man protected self.

Now some of you have encountered problems with GPs Saying things like you are to Young

Sadly some of you are to willing to accept this and go down to pub to have some fun.

Now when the GP says this don’t have none of it not bar not a bite

To have the simple injection to give your sample is your right.



GET IT CHECKED

Now you cannot do it tonight however, you can make those steps tomorrow in light of day.

be you rich or be you poor together "We are stronger knowing more"

I have one wish one hope and one pray that for you prostate cancer never comes to stay and on that not I have one more thing to say



GET IT CHECKED
