148: Prostate Cancer - The Silver Lining/Fit, Fabulous Before 50

On this episode of The Penis Project I chat with Brook, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer at the young age of 47. Having experienced zero symptoms, Brook’s decision to get tested was prompted by his brother's own diagnosis just a year prior, at the age of 44. 

Following his surgery, Brook experienced a remarkable recovery (I’m talking the return of erections while his catheter was still inserted!). 

However, he also emphasizes the vital lesson he gained about the importance of allowing your body to recuperate and embracing a slower pace for healing. Brook's journey is a testament to the importance of early detection and proactive health choices.
