Being aware of early signs of disease can make a huge difference in how serious the disease will be or who it will affect. You are in charge of your health care. Your actions now can prevent illness from becoming worse and more expensive later on.
For example: prostate cancer is most often diagnosed when men experience symptoms such as frequent urination and pain in their lower back area.
If you are experiencing these symptoms, see your physician. If you wait too long and the cancer becomes advanced, it could spread to other parts of your body and become more difficult to treat.
Early detection is vital to treatment success. Don’t wait until later. See a physician now. You are in charge of your health care decisions — don’t let people know that you will wait for illness until after your child’s birthday or the holidays or the start of a new year before deciding to go see a doctor.
