Darryl Strawberry Reaching Out For Cancer Awareness

Darryl recently spoke at the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders in Fort Worth, Texas.

He was interviewed by Joe Gumm, on staff at ESPN 103.3 FM, about topics from the long hours spent on buses in the minor leagues to the mental fogginess that comes from going through chemotherapy.

The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders hosted the visit to Fort Worth in order to recognize National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.

The Center has five satellite clinics where cancer patients from across North Texas can find health care professionals ranging from radiation oncologists to dieticians and pharmacists in one location.
