97.1 The Ticket
Chris Beresford joined Daniella Bruce during the pre-game show on WXYT 97.1 FM’s The Ticket ahead of the Prostate Cancer Awareness Night game on July 8. In a way, Beresford believes his relationship with is primary care doctor saved his life. He and his doctor were playing squash, but he couldn’t play as many games as usual.

He had pulmonary embolisms and they noticed from his blood work that he had a very high prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level. When he was referred to Elisabeth Heath, M.D., FACP, medical oncologist and leader of the Genitourinary Oncology Multidisciplinary Team at Karmanos, where he learned he was an ideal candidate for a clinical trial.
