“This guy came up to me and said he’d heard me talking about prostate cancer awareness,” Corrigan recalled. “He said, ‘I went to my doctor because you keep driving home the need to get checked.’ Then he said, ‘Thanks, Jack. I finally went to my doctor and I found out that I have prostate cancer.’ ”
Corrigan told the man about the various treatments that might stop cancer and not adversely affect the quality of his life. The man’s prognosis is good. According to the National Cancer Institute, an estimated 268,490 American males were diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2022. An estimated 34,500 men died from the disease last year.
Corrigan was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2016 and had a reoccurrence in 2020. He’s fortunate that he’s had two procedures that prevented it from spreading and have allowed him to live a normal life. “At the end of every Rockies broadcast, I mention that men should get checked,” said Corrigan, who is active with the Prostate Cancer Foundation and other local groups to increase awareness and raise funds for research. “I consider myself a friend-raiser, a fundraiser and an information deliverer. Because men should not die from this disease.
