On Friday, May 4, 2018 former New England Patriot Ilia Jarostchuk spoke with the attendees at this year’s Massachusetts Prostate Cancer Coalition Annual Prostate Cancer Symposium. John Carberry, who is on the Board of Directors and instrumental in coordinating the Symposium stated “Ilia’s talk humanized many of the issues the doctors and other presenters spoke about in the morning discussions. He was both light and quite serious about the disease issues and tied his football experiences and relationship to the Patriots to ways patients need to respond to their situations in a very effective manner.”
