Longtime FOX19 NOW anchor Rob Williams shared a personal update with Tri-State viewers Friday, revealing that he’s been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

“I don’t think as men, we talk about it enough,” he said.
Williams said doctors began flagging concerns through bloodwork two years ago, which eventually led to his diagnosis. Rob Williams is known for his healthy lifestyle and he admitted he never expected to hear the word “cancer” attached to his name.
Rather than focusing on fear, Williams is focusing on awareness. He pointed to the PSA blood test as a simple but potentially lifesaving tool, advocating the importance of knowing your number and staying on top of screenings.
