Still Standing: A Black Man's Guide To Prostate Health, PSA, and Facing What Most Men Won't

If you're a Black man over 40 who has been handed a PSA result and left to figure it out alone — this book was written for you.

Black men are diagnosed with prostate cancer at 70% higher rates than white men. We die from it at more than twice the rate. And most of us are never told that the standard screening guidelines weren't built for our risk profile — or that we should start getting checked a decade earlier than our doctors recommend.

Still Standing is the book that closes that gap. Written by a Black man who has an enlarged prostate, an elevated PSA, and years of living with this — not a doctor writing about a population, but a man talking plainly to other men about something that doesn't get talked about enough.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND INSIDE:

• What PSA actually means — and why elevated doesn't automatically mean cancer

• The DRE exam explained honestly — what it is, what to expect, why it matters

• BPH — what an enlarged prostate feels like from the inside and how to manage it

• Prostate cancer — staging, the Gleason score, and treatment options explained plainly

• Why Black men face a fundamentally different risk profile — and what to do about it

• The doctor conversation — what to ask, what to say, how to advocate for yourself

• What one Black man is actually doing to manage his numbers and improve his symptoms

This is not a clinical textbook. It is one man telling another what he went looking for and couldn't find — so he wrote it himself.
