100% Brother , here in Canada its a huge problem. I mentioned to the guys in the sauna about the mortality rates of prostate cancer and breast cancer and everybody is wondering why we only get two or 5% of breast cancer? More people die of prostate cancer than people die of breast cancer. Yet we are bombarded with breast cancer commercials, ovarian cancer commercials, and so on. I have never seen a prostate cancer commercial in Canada. This abuse of men and an appreciation for men has to stop immediately. I am talking to the politicians and they don't even have a clue that breast cancer gets 98% more funding than prostate cancer. James on Vancouver Island ! SPEAK UP AND SAVE YOURSELF AND YOUR BROTHERS ! 🙂

I'm sorry you've had a bad experience with cancer treatment in B.C., @vancouverislandhiker . I feel fortunate that I've had world-class prostate cancer care here in a big Ontario city, with the lastest meds and emerging practices, and have never felt I was being neglected because I'm male.
In fact, across Canada, cancer mortality for men has been falling at a much higher rate than cancer mortality for women, so there's a case to be made that we're actually underfunding research into women's health (as is often the case).
