Description
Check Up 13 this September is focused on men's health. We traveled to Kokomo to meet Billy Plott, who is facing a significant health challenge.
At 58, Plott is in treatment for metastatic prostate cancer. The diagnosis this spring hit hard.
“Yeah, it really did. It was a shocker. I wasn’t really sure how to accept it, how to take it. Just got quiet and just let it absorb,” Plott said.
Plott had no symptoms but had missed years of crucial blood work.
“I guess I should have kept up with it, obviously,” Plott said.
After diagnosis, Dr. Fadi Hayek, Billy's Ascension St. Vincent oncologist, prescribed chemotherapy and hormone therapy.
