Luckily, I went to the health event and did the screening, and they were able to catch it early. If I hadn’t, I could have been at stage four by the time my doctor ordered it. But they caught it early, so that’s good. We’re treating it.”

“This is the best thing going since sliced bread,” he said. “It’s so well organized. And it’s free. You have all these different stations – you can get your blood taken, you can go to a dentist – you can even get a haircut. And it doesn’t take any time at all. I think anyone who can take advantage of it should. It’s really worthwhile.”
