Staff with a 'stache...NHB/NMRTC Bremerton staff members showed
their support for the annual 'Movember' mustache movement to help increase
awareness and educate others on men's health issues, specifically prostate
and testicular cancer initiatives. Even for those clean-shaven, a prostate
cancer exam is a covered service by TRICARE, which includes screenings.
Eligible beneficiary are encouraged to discuss the benefits/risks associated
with their provider. Why? Because there is statistical evidence for this
awareness campaign. Prostate cancer is the second most common form of cancer in American males, trailing only skin cancer. The odds increase of getting
prostate cancer as a man gets older. The American Cancer Society estimates
that there will be approximately 268, 500 new cases of prostate cancer in
2022, resulting in 34,500 fatalities. Do the math. That's almost one in
eight new cases that doesn't make it (Official Navy photo by Douglas H
