“To men, prostate cancer awareness is recognizing that every man deserves the right to forge his own path, even if data and years of medical training tell us what is “right”. As clinicians and loved ones, we must understand that it is our duty to guide, but not our right to dictate the way things should go. Although personal values, preferences, and beliefs may challenge our understanding and be flatly wrong if our goal is solely to extend life, we must recognize that the goals of our patients come first. Quality of life and maintaining a sense of self truly is the most important thing to many men,…this must be respected.”
