Could focal therapy be an option for me? If you're exploring prostate cancer treatment options, this is a question to discuss with your urologist. In this Physician Podcast Spotlight, Dr. Clint Bahler explains what physicians consider when evaluating candidates. An individual evaluation can help determine whether focal therapy, including Sonablate HIFU, may be appropriate for you. At your next appointment, ask: "Am I a candidate for focal therapy, and why or why not?" @IUMedSchool @IUuro #ProstateCancerAwareness #ProstateCancer #PatientFocusedCare #MensHealth #ProstateHealth #FocalTherapy #HIFU #SonablateHIFU #PatientEducation #SonaAccess #Sonablate

Make space for the conversation. Whether you're concerned about your prostate cancer risk or navigating a diagnosis, you don't have to sort through every question alone. Talk with someone you trust, whether that's a brother, your dad, a cousin, an uncle, a friend, or anyone you feel comfortable opening up to. Share what's on your mind, what feels uncertain, and the support you need. You don't need the perfect words. Start with "I've been thinking about my prostate health" or "I received a diagnosis, and I'd like someone to talk to." Someone you trust can listen, help you prepare questions, or join you at an appointment. Your healthcare team can help you understand your individual risk, diagnosis, and care options. This Wednesday, our Black men's prostate health series encourages you to start a conversation with someone you trust, at your own pace. #ProstateCancerAwareness #ProstateCancer #PatientFocusedCare #MensHealth #ProstateHealth #FocalTherapy #HIFU #SonablateHIFU #PatientEducation #SonaAccess #BlackMensHealth #Sonablate

Your diagnosis is only part of the story. Your health, preferences, treatment goals, and priorities for daily life can all belong in the discussion. Ask your physician how different approaches compare and why an option may or may not be appropriate for you.

Before helping someone decide, ask what matters to them. A caregiver can help gather information, take notes, and prepare questions while keeping the patient's preferences at the center. Listen first. Support together. Share with a loved one. #ProstateHealth #PatientEducation #MensHealth #Sonablate

Behind every pink ribbon is a person, a family, and a story. This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we recognize those facing a diagnosis, navigating treatment, living beyond it, or grieving someone they love. We also recognize the caregivers, friends, and families who show up through appointments, difficult decisions, and the everyday moments in between. Awareness becomes meaningful through action. Check in with someone you care about. Offer a ride to an appointment, help with a meal, or make time to listen without expecting them to have the right words. Support can start with a simple question: "What do you need today?" And it can continue long after October ends. To everyone affected by breast cancer: your experiences matter, your questions deserve to be heard, and you deserve care and support throughout your journey. #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #BreastCancerAwareness #Sonablate

A second opinion can bring another perspective and new questions. If you would like to explore one, ask your healthcare team how to share your medical records and what information another physician may need. Prepare information about your diagnosis, the questions you want to ask, and the priorities you want to discuss. Ask your healthcare team about a second opinion. #ProstateCancerAwareness #ProstateCancer #SecondOpinion #PatientFocusedCare #MensHealth #ProstateHealth #PatientEducation #SonaAccess

Did you know 1 in 6 Black men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime? Your family history is part of your health story. If a close relative was diagnosed with prostate cancer, ask your physician about starting the screening conversation as early as age 40. Black men and others with a family history may also benefit from a discussion by age 40. Decide together when to begin screening based on your individual risk, preferences, and the potential benefits and harms.

Treating prostate cancer is also a conversation about the life you want to live afterward. Ask about recovery, urinary function, sexual health, and the activities that matter to you, alongside cancer control. Your priorities belong in the discussion. Discuss your priorities with your physician. #ProstateCancerAwareness #ProstateCancer #PatientFocusedCare #MensHealth #ProstateHealth #FocalTherapy #HIFU #SonablateHIFU #ProstateHealth #MensHealth #Sonablate

Before “what if,” ask “what else?” A treatment conversation should include your options, the potential benefits and risks, and what matters most to you. Talk with your physician about your treatment goals, possible side effects, recovery, and follow-up care. Write down your priorities and bring them to your physician. Write down what matters to you. #ProstateCancerAwareness #ProstateCancer #PatientFocusedCare #MensHealth #ProstateHealth #FocalTherapy #HIFU #SonablateHIFU #ProstateHealth #MensHealth #Sonablate

You do not need to have every answer to support someone you care about. Start by listening. Ask what is on their mind, help write down questions if they want you to, and make space for their priorities. Support starts with listening. Share with your support person. #ProstateCancerAwareness #ProstateCancer #PatientFocusedCare  #MensHealth #ProstateHealth #FocalTherapy #HIFU #SonablateHIFU #ProstateHealth #MensHealth #Sonablate

Your diagnosis is personal. Your treatment conversation should be, too. Ask your physician which options may fit your diagnosis, what benefits and risks to consider, and how each approach may affect your daily life.
