Kevin Schlehuber
of Big Brother CBS
talks about cancer
and mental health
awareness
Kevin Schlehuber of Big
Brother on CBS is known for
his charisma as well as his
"live and let live" attitude. But
lately, he's been taking on a
more serious topic. In the
years since taping Season 19,
the 58-year-old actor and father
of seven has gone public
about his battle with prostate
cancer. It's been five months
since Kevin first tweeted to the
world about his diagnosis.
Since then he's posted about
every step in his journey of
recovery.
A Family Story
Growing up in a family with
high cancer rates, Kevin has
seen the effects first hand. In
1986, one of his brothers
passed away from testicular
cancer. Both his parents have
been treated for cancer, and
his other brother is currently
fighting stage 4 colon cancer.
He has lost both an aunt and
uncle to leukemia. For Kevin,
his family history is just another
reason why it's so important
to spread the message
of getting checked. We talked
with Kevin about the journey
of beating cancer and looking
forward.
