Dr. Brad Miller welcomes Michael Bavarnik—two‑time prostate cancer survivor, founder of The Prostate Education Project, devoted husband of 62 years, and tireless patient educator. Michael traces his journey from watching his father endure a brutal, old‑school course of prostate cancer, to facing his own aggressive disease, staying undetectable for 20 years, and then getting hit with a recurrence that forced him to rethink everything.
What unfolds is a story that’s blunt, practical, often funny, and full of hard‑won wisdom about cancer, marriage, masculinity, and why silence is so dangerous for men.
Brad and Michael explore:
Family history and first diagnosis
Nerves, sex, and the “two brains” problem
Twenty years of “undetectable”… then the PSA climbs
Radiation, ADT, and the mental battle
The Prostate Education Project (English + Spanish)
Marriage, intimacy, and what men avoid talking about
Practical tools and core beliefs
Life after “you have prostate cancer”
This guide offers:
Clear explanations of PSA, staging, surgery, radiation, and ADT in everyday language
Support for couples redefining intimacy, manhood, and connection after treatment
A roadmap for the first weeks after diagnosis, so patients and loved ones aren’t lost in jargon and fear
Encouragement to keep asking questions, keep testing, and keep choosing education over silence
The harsh realities of prostate cancer don’t disappear—but with information, honest talk, and a bit of humor, they become challenges you can face with clarity, courage, and support.
