Dr. Josie Tenore and Paul Hinds were introduced by a mutual friend in 2017 and hadn't been going out long when she laid down the law: He had to get a physical.

"I don't date people who don't take care of their health," said Tenore, who practices cosmetic dermatology and functional medicine in suburban Chicago.

One of Hinds' blood tests that summer came back with an alarming result: His prostate-specific antigen, or PSA, level was very high. A biopsy confirmed he had advanced prostate cancer.
