How to Create a Great Lunch in Just 5:55.2 minutes

How to Make a Great Lunch in Just Under Six Minutes by Robert Warren Hess I’m always busy and I tend to grab the first edible thing I can put my hands on. My ability to eat just about anything was honed during my Army career. We ate whatever the mess sergeant put in our mess kits because we never knew when the next meal would arrive. But, this post is about how to get create something tasty and nutritious in just five minutes. As you can see from this image from my iPhone timer I didn’t quite make 5 minutes, but it was close. This Day was Salad Day so Here are my Ingredients . . . I always buy pre-washed salads and greens when I can get them. They cost a tad more, but the washing process is just to time consuming for me I like food with a bit of tanginess, so I like to include some kale, mustard greens, and arugula with my romaine i also love sweet peppers, so I buy bags of peppers like the ones you see here – these do take washing I use salsa for my salad dressing – it’s tangy […] read more

ProstateTracker In Action

What’s Good for the Goose, Is Good for the Gander How many times have we all heard that from our parents and grandparents? The image to the right shows the results of my most recent PSA test. I’m a 10-year prostate cancer survivor so I watch that number like a hawk. The image shows my PSA values beginning in 1994 – that’s the 1.0 number of the far left of the chart – to the point where I was diagnosed. It drops sharply after my surgery in May 2003 and has remained in the .03 – .08 range since then. If the scale looks a bit funny, it’s because we programmed it with a logarithmic function to accommodate a wide range of values. What Did We Include Cholesterol in ProstateTracker? We did this because cholesterol value – total, high, and low – serve as pretty good (but maybe not perfect) overall markers for the body’s general health. If your HDL and LDL numbers are in the ‘good’ or ‘optimal’ ranges, you most likely are in pretty good health. Can You See My Eating Habit Relapse? The green line is LDL (the bad cholesterol) and the brown line is HDL (the […] read more

JP Morgan Chase Community Giving Contributes to PCAP’s ProstateTracker Program

MANHATTAN BEACH, CALIFORNIA (PRBUZZ) January 3, 2013. “Prostate cancer doesn’t care.  But JP Morgan Chase Does!”  JPMorgan Chase Community Giving joined the fight to end prostate cancer by contributing to the first Internet prostate cancer early warning tool for men, ProstateTracker. ProstateTracker, developed by the Prostate Cancer Awareness Project, is a free Internet-based prostate cancer early detection tool. Men just enter their annual prostate specific antigen (PSA) number and ProstateTracker reveals if there is an increase from the previous year, which is a warning sign of possible prostate cancer. ProstateTracker also sends a reminder email when a man’s next annual test is due.  ProstateTracker is free to everyone. Prostate Cancer Awareness Project CEO Robert Hess, himself a 10-year prostate cancer survivor, notes that he calls himself an “accidental prostate cancer survivor” because he was diagnosed with multiple prostate cancer tumors when his PSA and physical exam results were within the “normal” range. Hess notes that “normal” varies from man-to-man.  The best way to find prostate cancer early, when it still is treatable, is tracking any rise in PSA value from the previous year. “Metatastic prostate cancer – prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body- is almost impossible to […] read more

Dr. Snuffy Meyers on how to prevent prostate cancer recurrence

As an eight year prostate cancer survivor myself, prostate cancer recurrence prevention, or PCa Growth Arrest as Dr. Myers terms it, is number one of my list of priorities. I’ve met and talked with Dr. Myers twice at the annul Prostate Cancer Research Institute conference in Los Angeles, and I have great respect for his advice and experience. If my prostate cancer ever recurs, Dr. Myers is the first person I will call. This video offers some great insights and advice that comes from his personal battle with prostate cancer.

How a motorcycle ride can find prostate cancer

The Prostate Cancer Pony Express is criss-crossing the US this year raising awareness for prostate cancer. A wonderful group of relay riders are carrying our dispatch bag with our memorial journal from state capitol-to-state capitol, connecting with men and urging state governments to join with us in prostate cancer awareness. One of our early events took place in Hammond, Louisiana, at Hammond Harley-Davidson. You can see the pictures on our Facebook PAGE HERE. That event may just have saved three men’s lives “Also FYI, we did a prostate screening at the dealership the morning that Dick was with us, we performed @ 20 PSA tests and from that number there was 3 abnormal results presented with two of those being scheduled for surgery, all three where asymptomatic surprised with the lab results and are now eternally grateful for possibly having saved their lives. This all, because of you, your organization and the efforts to inform the masses.” Why men need to screen for prostate cancer – Prostate cancer generally doesn’t have symptoms until it is at an advanced stage – Early detection is critical How to know if your prostate cancer risk is rising – Create a free account at ProstateTracker.org – Enter […] read more
