Dave | Colon Cancer Survivor | American Cancer Society

Dave, a prostate and colon cancer survivor, knows firsthand just how important it is to get regular cancer screenings. And now he’s committed to teaming with the American Cancer Society to build trust within the African American community and talk openly about how cancer screening can save lives.

Unfortunately in this country our health care system is more reactive than pro-active. early screening is important for so many diseases, but the cost is prohibitive for many. And then once symptoms present, the disease is so advanced outcomes are poor. It is a sad commentary on health care in this country that our life expectancy is decreasing and fetal mortality rates are increasing.
