When former President Joseph Biden recently announced his stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis, it made headlines—and for good reason. His cancer, which had already spread to his bones, was found after he experienced urinary symptoms. The news is a powerful reminder that prostate cancer can happen to any man.
Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer among men, and it’s also one of the most treatable if caught early. But the sad truth is that many men don’t get tested soon enough. This can lead to more serious health problems later in life.
At Anagail Care Services, we want men in Snellville and Gwinnett County to know the facts, recognize the warning signs, and feel confident about getting tested. Our PSA test (Prostate-Specific Antigen) is available starting at just $79.
The Facts About Prostate Cancer
- Prostate cancer affects 1 in 8 men in their lifetime
- For Black men, the risk is even higher—1 in 6 will be diagnosed
- Black men are twice as likely to die from prostate cancer compared to white men
- Many men don’t have symptoms until the cancer is advanced
The good news? Successful treatment for prostate cancer is possible, particularly when detected at an early stage.
What Is the PSA Test?
The PSA test is a simple blood test that checks for a protein called Prostate-Specific Antigen in your blood. Higher levels may be a sign of prostate problems, including cancer.
At Anagail Care Services, our PSA tests are:
✅ Fast
✅ Affordable (starting at $79)
✅ Private
✅ Performed in a comfortable, respectful setting
If you’re 40 or older, especially if you’re a Black man or have a family history of prostate cancer, now is the time to start talking to your doctor about PSA screening.
Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore
Many men don’t feel any symptoms at all. That’s why testing is so important. But if you notice any of the following signs, it’s time to get checked:
- Difficulty starting or stopping urination
- Frequent urination, especially at night
- Weak or slow urine stream
- Burning or pain during urination
- Blood in your urine or semen
- Pain in the hips, back, or legs
Even if you’re not sure, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Why Men Don’t Get Tested—and Why That Needs to Change
We hear it all the time:
“I’m fine.”
“I don’t want to know.”
“I’m too busy.”
“I’ll go next year.”
But waiting could cost you your life.
At Anagail Care Services, we’re breaking the silence. Our goal is to make it easier for men to take care of themselves—with no judgment and full support.
Let’s Change the Stats, One Test at a Time
Prostate cancer doesn’t have to be a death sentence. When caught early, it’s one of the most treatable forms of cancer.
So don’t wait. Talk to your doctor. Book your PSA test. Encourage your father, brother, uncle, or husband to do the same.
