Darryl, thanks for putting this up. It’s informative but it begs this question and if not you but someone else may offer thoughts. Ever since I was diagnosed as having prostate cancer, what I’ve heard much of statistically is Black males are more at risk than all other races and ethnicities. However is is my observation on this platform that statistic does not bear witness to be true.

I realize this site is not the end all and I also certainly know that considerably less amongst my race have good healthcare, access to even the bare bones in most instances, never mind, the light bulb just came on as I was reciting the litany of reasons why there’s no trackable accounting…still I wonder how the data was gathered to support the stat’s?
