THE INDIANAPOLIS RECORDER

FRIDAY, APRIL 16, 2004

WIDOW ► Continued from Pag* 1 prostate tested,” said Maxey. "Any time you hear the word cancer you get scared, but just because you have it doesn’t mean you can’t still live your life. We have to change men’s thoughts as well as change the way we take care of them.” The From the Heart event will not only have speakers, but will include a healthy cooking demonstration and lunch by the Side Street Deli, recipes for healthy

meals and health giveaways such as pedometers. ” We hope we can get men from the neighborhood and the city to come,” said Maxey. “Our goal is to reach at least 75 men, or women.” According to the National Cancer Institute, more than half of the men in the United States between the ages of 60 and 70, and as many as 90 percent between the ages of 70 and 90 have symptoms of prostate cancer.

It may require treatment to relieve symptoms, which include difficulty urinating and frequency of urination, especially at night The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported that fewer than 10 percent of men with prostate cancer die of the disease within five years of diagnosis. This statistic makes testing that much more important Symptoms include difficult)' urinating, an indication Maxey’s husband had.

“My husband had difficulty urinating but I didn’t pay attention. It was happening for so long I just thought it was normal for him until I heard my nephew and his was so much stronger.” Prostate Cancer From the Heart is a one-time event for now, but Maxey hopes to change that ‘I hope to make this an annual event, or even move it into a quarterly program,” she said. Most importantly, Maxey wants to warn people before it is

too late and they duplicate her situation. “Don't end up like I did and wish there was something you could have done when there is something you can do.” Sponsors of the event include Arthur Jordan Associates, Indiana Cancer Consortium, The Indianapolis Recorder, Little Red Door Cancer Agency, Office of Minority Health, Indiana State Department of Health and Wake Up Indianapolis.
