  • Episode 6: That Old Feeling
    When Mark comes out the other side, he’s decidedly not the man he used to be. But he has dodged the two outcomes he feared most: death and life without sex. Post-treatment, Mark reaches an uneasy peace with his status as a cancer survivor -- relieved, but dreading the prospect of the cancer’s return. For more, visit bostonglobe.com/prostate.

  • Episode 5: The Manopause
    Mark confronts a disturbing reality: His surgery didn't get all the cancer.

  • Episode 4: Our Prostates, Ourselves
    If you're Black and prostate cancer runs in your family, well, that's a lottery ticket nobody wants. Tom Farrington was holding one, and he's made it his mission ever since to educate Black men about their elevated risk for getting the disease. Tom talks to Mark about losing his father and both grandfathers to it. Mark also introduces us to Bill Tinney, whose impotence following a prostatectomy turned him into an evangelist for penile implants. For more, visit bostonglobe.com/prostate.

Acerca de Mr 80 Percent

Host Mark Shanahan shares a deeply personal, sometimes harrowing, often funny, always true story about prostate cancer, a disease that affects him and millions of other men. With bracing candor and an eye for the absurd, Mark confronts cultural attitudes about masculinity, controversies surrounding screening and treatment, and his own biggest fear: that his diagnosis would wreck the healthy sex life he enjoyed with his wife. Part memoir, part journalistic investigation, Mr. 80 Percent is a heartfelt, hilarious, and helpful resource for men (and their families) touched by this disease.
