Joe Torre

In 1999, when Torre, a former pro baseball player who was by then the New York Yankees manager, went for routine blood tests, an abnormal PSA reading (a prostate health marker) and then a biopsy revealed he had aggressive prostate cancer. “I was numb when I got the cancer diagnosis, and I don’t know what I would have done if Ali [his wife] hadn’t been there to get me through it all,” he told the Urological Sciences Research Foundation. Torre had a prostatectomy but experienced no sexual side effects and had only temporary urinary incontinence. He is currently the head of the Major League Baseball association.
