"I was in a weird situation where only one of my five samples they took came back as cancerous, but my doctor said it was so aggressive that if I'd waited for a symptom, he'd be fighting to save my life," said Carson Lev, who had his cancer detected by blood test 20 years ago. If you go to any kind of a classic car show, you'll notice that a lot of the people there are men over the age of 40, and that's the group that needs to get tested for prostate cancer. It's a bit of a captive audience - guys hanging around most of the day at the show anyway.
