T.B., A Prostate Cancer Survivor

BlueCircle is really thrilled to know that early prostate cancer detection helped save the life of our very own Terry Bradley

So, BlueCircle has been a proud sponsor of the Motorcycle Ride For Dad for at least 8 years now, helping raise almost $800,000.oo for the research and awareness campaign for prostate cancer. I've said it many times here, and in BlueCircle's Facebook page, that part of the awareness campaign involves things like the Man-Van, a mobile clinic that does blood tests for the Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA). Despite some negative reports contrary to what a PSA test can do, we have living proof that this test can save lives because when detected early there is a 95% chance of survival. Yes, a 95% survival rate thanks in part to a simple PSA blood test.

Who's the living proof? Well, quite a lot of men out there, but in this case it's none other than our friend and business partner, Terry Bradley. Seven years ago, Terry took the blood test and had an elevated level of PSA in his sample. Terry went for further testing and through that process discovered he had an aggressive form of prostate cancer that required some serious intervention. Fortunately, that early detection allowed for the early intervention and saved his life. We're very thankful that Terry is alive and well today and share in his encouragement for every man out there (40 years of age and older) to get the test and stay on top of their health, especially knowing this disease can be beaten.

Don't worry guys...it's just a blood test and there's no 'digital' exam required! haha!
