*Auto Trends with Jeff Cars.com kicks off its sixth season on the airways this weekend, discussing Black men and the silent disease known as prostate cancer. Being that September is officially deemed as Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, Auto Trends with JeffCars.com is veering away from its normal automotive conversations to focus on the journey of four Black men, including the host, whom were all stricken with the disease well below the average age of 66.
In fact, the stories of the men profiled in the prostate themed program were diagnosed with the disease between the ages of 37 to 55. “These examples highlight that prostate cancer is not just a disease for older guys,” says Dr. Reggie Tucker-Seeley, Vice President of Health Equity at ZeroCancer.org, the show’s sponsor.
While prostate cancer is a disease only contracted by men, it is the most common cancer diagnosed among Black Men. Moreover, according to ZeroCancer.org, Black men are 1.8 times more likely to be diagnosed with—and 2.2 times more likely to die from—prostate cancer than white men.
During the candid, high-energy prostate driven conversation, the cancer survivors will tackle everything from unearthing family medical secrets to the stigmas of screenings to available resources.
To hear the conversation, tune in to Auto Trends with JeffCars.com on Saturday, September 25th thru Thursday, September 30th. The program will air on SiriusXM 141 and on several FM radio outlets. For airtimes, visit JeffCars.com.
