What We Didn’t Know Could’ve Killed Us | Prostate Cancer & Black Men’s Lived Experiences

Breaking the Silence on Prostate Cancer Risk, Advocacy, and Survival for Black Men. Prostate cancer is often called a “silent killer” — and for Black men, the risk is higher, the conversations are fewer, and the consequences can be deadly when warnings are missed. In this episode of Four Titles, One Truth, Tommie and Lance are joined by retired CSM Maurice Jackson for a powerful, perspective-based conversation on prostate cancer through three Black men’s lived experiences. This is not a medical episode. We are not doctors. We are Black men sharing what we lived, what we didn’t know, and what we wish more men talked about sooner. Across the conversation, we discuss: • When prostate cancer first became real for each of us • Why prostate cancer is rarely discussed openly among Black men • What we didn’t know — and what every Black man should understand • The importance of self-advocacy in healthcare • Fear, masculinity, and avoiding shame around screenings • How personal and family experiences shape health decisions • One immediate step Black men should take after hearing this conversation One guest was diagnosed with prostate cancer while still serving and had to advocate for himself when rising PSA numbers were initially overlooked. Another brings medical training and family experience. Another learned the seriousness of prostate cancer late in life during military retirement exams. Three different paths — one shared reality. If this episode made you uncomfortable, that’s okay. If it made you think, that’s the point. If it leads you to take action, then it mattered. 🎙️ Four Titles, One Truth A real-talk podcast for Black men navigating life as fathers, husbands, veterans, and men — building community through truth, growth, and shared experience.
