There was just one problem: no one told him about it. The hairstylist and owner of The Purple Door Salon didn&#8217;t learn of his diagnosis until earlier this year.<\/p>\n<h2>Discovering His Diagnosis While Serving Others<\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;My grandfather died from prostate cancer 20-something years ago, and so I was always conscious of my health,&#8221; he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Eubanks was serving in his capacity as one of the organizers of the health fair at his church, demonstrating how easy it was to have one&#8217;s PSA numbers checked. Within minutes, he learned his numbers were in the danger zone.<\/p>\n<h3>Understanding PSA Numbers<\/h3>\n<p>A prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test measures the level of prostate-specific antigen in the blood. &#8220;Normal&#8221; PSA ranges vary by age.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In general, a PSA level above 4.0 ng\/mL is considered abnormal and may result in a recommendation for prostate biopsy,&#8221; according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.gov\/types\/prostate\/psa-fact-sheet\">National Cancer Institute<\/a> at the National Institutes of Health.<\/p>\n<p>While working at his church&#8217;s health summit, Eubanks learned his PSA level was twice the normal level. It was in the 8s. He had previously been in the 6s, but he was never told.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was really shocking to find out that in 2022, it was diagnosed, but nobody said anything to me,&#8221; he continued.<\/p>\n<h2>How Eubanks&#8217; Diagnosis Got Lost in the System<\/h2>\n<p>The longtime HCP of the frequent face on <em>The Real Housewives of Atlanta<\/em> passed away. Eubanks had no clue his records were in limbo. His new doctor never admitted they didn&#8217;t have it. Instead, they pretended they did and asked questions to try to fill in the blanks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My doctor didn&#8217;t come out of the gate and tell me that he didn&#8217;t have my records,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Nor did my insurance offer to provide me with any information, claiming they didn&#8217;t have anything either.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, Eubanks was fortunate enough to find a doctor committed to presenting him with a full picture of his health. &#8220;He was able to track [my health history] back through my labs,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<h2>Black Men and Prostate Cancer<\/h2>\n<p>Prostate cancer is extremely common. A 2025 review in the <a href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jama\/article-abstract\/2831269\">Journal of the American Medical Association <\/a>states that &#8220;Prostate cancer is the most common nonskin cancer in men in the US.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The risk is even greater in the Black community. &#8220;Black men are disproportionately affected by prostate cancer, with earlier presentation, more aggressive disease, and higher mortality rates versus White men,&#8221; according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/cncr.34433\">American Cancer Society<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>They are 70% more likely to develop prostate cancer. Their outcomes are worse as well. Black men are <a href=\"https:\/\/blackhealthmatters.com\/president-bidens-prostate-cancer-black-men-pay-attention\/\">twice as likely to die<\/a> from prostate cancer. The disparity is even more significant in Eubanks&#8217; home state of Georgia. It is <a href=\"https:\/\/zerocancer.org\/about-prostate-cancer\/downloadable-materials\/state-statistics\/georgia\">fifth nationwide.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Misconceptions about PSA Testing<\/h3>\n<p>Eubanks cited misinformation about how PSA levels are checked as one of the contributing factors for why people do not get tested.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Guys have to get out of their heads about having their prostate checked through the anus,&#8221; he said. PSA tests can be conducted through a rapid blood draw process. It is a quick and minimally invasive way to educate yourself about your health.<\/p>\n<h3>An Overlooked Symptom<\/h3>\n<p>He pointed out a significant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/prostate-cancer\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20353087\">symptom<\/a> of prostate cancer that goes unnoticed. Previously, he attributed his frequent urination to the amount of water he was drinking. He was wrong. &#8220;That was a sign. You know? My bladder was overactive,&#8221; he declared.<\/p>\n<h2>Finding Purpose Under Pressure<\/h2>\n<p>Eubanks partnered with <a href=\"https:\/\/zerocancer.org\/\">ZERO Prostate Cancer<\/a> to help him spread awareness and increase access to those who need it the most. The organization has offered &#8220;resources, programs, and services&#8221; to those fighting or at risk for prostate cancer and their loved ones for nearly 30 years.<\/p>\n<p>They are aiming to ensure 10,000 men a month get appointments for PSA tests.<\/p>\n<p>Advocacy is nothing new to Eubanks. He has aided in producing health summits, community feedings, and other philanthropic events for decades through his church Victory for the World.<\/p>\n<p>He has comforted others on a smaller scale as well. A frequent traveler to Saint Lucia, he has brought back items to soothe those in his life who are dealing with the symptoms of illness.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been bringing back soursop leaves and bark and giving it to people that had health challenges, and lo and behold, I&#8217;m needing it now, so it&#8217;s just really interesting how God has been preparing me for this day, and I had no idea,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Soursop has been known to &#8220;possess therapeutic effects due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and gastroprotective properties,&#8221; according to the\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC8878098\/\"><em>Journal of Molecules<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>How Eubanks Practices Self-Care<\/h2>\n<p>He is currently meditating and working with his urologist and primary care provider on a treatment plan that is right for him.<\/p>\n<p>He strongly encouraged those without resources to attend public events and gain the knowledge they need. &#8220;When you have a health fair or summit or anything free in your community, go go go! Because the information is there, you have the medical professionals there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It can be hard to prioritize your health as your to-do list expands. But Eubanks stressed the importance of putting your well-being first.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I encourage people to take the time. It&#8217;s your health,&#8221; he said. &#8220;No matter how much wealth, how many bedrooms you have in your house, what car you drive, without your health, none of that is relevant.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And while the world might know him for external elegance, Dwight Eubanks is focused on what lies within.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It doesn&#8217;t matter what label is on your shoes or outfits. None of that matters when you don&#8217;t have good health and strength,\u201d he added. &#8220;That&#8217;s the number one thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.gov\/types\/prostate\/psa-fact-sheet\">NCI: PSA Fact Sheet<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jama\/article-abstract\/2831269\">Journal of the American Cancer Society: The Review<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/cncr.34433\">Racial Disparities of Black Men with Prostate Cancer: American Cancer Society<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC8878098\/\"><em>Journal of Molecules<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dwight Eubanks was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2022.
