A taxi driver has credited a passenger with saving his life after a conversation about prostate cancer led to a diagnosis. Brian Kelly was diagnosed with the disease after passenger Tam Hewitt urged him to get checked out during a cab ride.
Appearing on Good Morning Britain, Kelly said he was 'forever grateful' to Hewitt. He explained that the conversation was easy and he took it in, following up with his GP despite having no symptoms. The diagnosis led to brachytherapy treatment, which Kelly described as straightforward, allowing him to return to work a week later.
Hewitt, a prostate cancer survivor himself, said he regularly raises awareness of the disease. He noted that too many people are losing their lives early when they could be saved by getting checked. Kelly told Hewitt: 'You saved my life, and I'm forever grateful.'
