What if prostate cancer treatment could target cancer with incredible precision while protecting the healthy parts of your body? In this powerful and deeply personal episode of the If You Are My Brothers Podcast, host Reggie Hicks sits down with his own radiation oncologist, Dr. Karen Godette, Director of Radiation Oncology at Winship Cancer Institute and specialist in proton therapy at Emory Proton Therapy Center. Together, they break down one of the most advanced forms of prostate cancer treatment available today—proton therapy.
"If 'You Are My Brothers" is a documentary and outreach project that follows the journeys of two African-American men dealing with prostate issues. Ralph Franklin, a real estate lawyer with a PSA level of 100 and a terminal prognosis, meets a physician who helps him prepare to live rather than succumb to the disease. Reggie Hicks, the documentary's producer, is diagnosed with the same illness while chronicling Ralph's story. This single narrative develops into two distinct yet deeply connected stories — two men facing their own challenges, united by a shared bond of brotherhood and hope.
