Today, we're bringing you the last show of Season One of the Prostate Health Podcast. Although this podcast has always been interview-based, we're closing our first season out with something a little different. 

It can be very upsetting for men to receive a new diagnosis for prostate cancer, and many men find themselves at a loss when it comes to what their options are, and what they should do next. Dr. Pohlman recently had the opportunity to interact with prostate cancer survivors in an online prostate cancer support group, and he asked each of them to share their top tip for men who are considering the treatment options for their prostate cancer.

Dr. Pohlman compiled fifteen different responses, and he will be sharing them in today's podcast. Be sure to stay tuned to get some impactful and thought-provoking advice from these prostate cancer survivor warriors. 

August is a vacation month for the podcast, so although we won't be airing any new shows this month, we will continue working hard behind the scenes to bring you some awesome new interviews in Season Two, which kicks off on September 3rd. We thank you sincerely for joining us on this journey, and for supporting us on the show! And we look forward to seeing you again in September when we get into the second season of the Prostate Health Podcast. Be sure to listen in today, to hear fifteen prostate cancer survivors' best tips for men about to undergo prostate cancer treatment.
