Ben Stiller plays a funny man on the big screen, but he got real serious today on The Howard Stern Show when he told the Shock Jock that he was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer two years ago.
He not only talked about it on the radio show, he blogged about his diagnosis and treatment. He started out his post by saying, “So, yeah, it’s cancer.” Then he reveals he was diagnosed on Friday the 13th of June in 2014 and three months later on September 17, 2014 he heard he the words, “cancer free.” The actor had his prostate removed with all of the cancer and he remains free of cancer 2 years later.
He is coming forward to tell men to get the their PSA levels checked even before the mandatory age of 50 because he was only 48 when he was given the scary news. All a man has to do is take a blood test. It is so simple and it can save your life.
It saved his life and it saved my father’s life. Men do it. Do it today!

After surgery … you continue to be blood tested every 3 Months … until you go past at least 10 YEARS you are NOT out of the woods … if his PSA remains UNDETECTABLE at that time it is Terrific … but NO ONE is declared Cancer Free at only 3 Months
