Because one conversation can change everything.

START A CONVERSATION

Talk to the men in your life. One honest conversation can be the beginning.

Ways to get involved

KNOW YOUR PSA

Talk with your doctor about whether and when screening is right for you.

Screening guidance
The idea

What it is. Why it works. How you do it.

No medical degree required. No big platform needed. Just a willingness to start one honest conversation.

What

A simple movement

TELL 5 MEN is a prostate cancer awareness movement built on one act: talking to the men in your life about prostate cancer screening.

Why

Early detection saves lives

Caught early, prostate cancer is highly treatable. Awareness is what gets a man to the conversation in time.

How

Tell 5 Men to get screened for prostate cancer. Then ask them to Tell 5 more.

You don’t have to be a man to .

Women can tell their husbands, fathers, sons, brothers, boyfriends, friends, and coworkers.

The idea is simple: if there’s a man in your life, you can be the person who starts the conversation.

Ask him if he knows his PSA. Encourage him to talk to his doctor. Then ask him to tell 5 more men.

The multiplier

One conversation becomes 5.

  1. Tell 5 Men to get screened for prostate cancer.
  2. Then ask them to Tell 5 more.
  3. Keep the conversation going.

That’s how a conversation becomes a movement.

The Promise That Became

My name is Casey, and I’m the founder of TELL 5 MEN™.

I’m a lifelong New Yorker from Queens, a proud veteran, a retired federal public servant, and a prostate cancer survivor.

Like many men, I never imagined prostate cancer would become part of my story.

After a routine medical evaluation led to additional testing, I received a phone call that changed my life forever.

“We found the cells.”

Following months of active surveillance and additional testing, I underwent a radical prostatectomy.

During my recovery, I realized I couldn’t keep this experience to myself.

I kept thinking about the men who might never get screened simply because no one had ever started the conversation.

That’s when I made a promise to myself:

I would never miss another opportunity to encourage another man to learn about prostate cancer and consider getting screened.

That promise became TELL 5 MEN. The mission is simple.

Tell 5 Men to get screened for prostate cancer. Then ask them to Tell 5 more.

We believe awareness begins with conversation. We believe conversations save lives.

And we believe that while one conversation can change everything…

5 Conversations Could Change The World.

Thank you for visiting TELL 5 MEN. I hope you’ll join us.

Why screening matters

Know Your Personal Risk

Not every man carries the same level of risk. Understanding yours is the first step in deciding, with your doctor, when to start screening.
