It Started with a Finger Up My A--e is not your typical prostate cancer memoir—it’s a brutally honest, unexpectedly funny, and a deeply human journey through a diagnosis millions of men face but few talk about.

Minhas mãos cobriram meu rosto e eu apoiei minhas costas nuas na parede fria de azulejos, deixando o desconforto gelado me abraçar ao me lembrar que ainda estava viva e fui escorregando até sentar no chão do banheiro.
