Shoulder to Shoulder: Getting Through Prostate Cancer with Al Roker is a powerful new series that spotlights men redefining what survivorship looks like. TODAY show host Al Roker — a prostate cancer survivor himself — brings together men from all backgrounds to share their stories and reflect on the essential role their families play as they navigate treatment decisions, uncertainty, and everyday life.
“We all share this diagnosis,” Roker told a group of survivors who stepped forward to describe how prostate cancer — a disease that affects one in eight men — has reshaped their lives.
A prostate cancer diagnosis — and the sensitive symptoms that can come with it — may make discussion even more difficult. However, sharing these experiences can help men navigate side effects, increase awareness, and also reduce stigma. Openness also encourages seeking help and support, which can improve outcomes and strengthen recovery.
