September is National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month

Wednesday September 7, 2005
President Bush has declared September as National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. Now is the time to talk to men in your life - whether it be a father, friend, husband, partner, son, or brother about prostate cancer if you haven't already.
