Uninsured musicians residing in Los Angeles County, Orange County, San Bernardino County, and Riverside County interested in information regarding a no cost PSA Test, visit www.vohf.info.
American Cancer Society say’s that a PSA (prostate-specific antigen) test is a blood test that can help detect prostate cancer early, when it’s most treatable. It’s a screening tool that can identify potential issues before symptoms appear, allowing for earlier intervention. However, it’s important to discuss the potential benefits and risks with a doctor, as the test can also lead to overdiagnosis and overtreatment in some cases. For more information visit www.cancer.org or call (800) 227-2345.
Victor Orlando is formerly of The Gap Band, and percussionist to the stars Chaka Khan, Bobby Womack, and LL Cool J. His illustrious career has allowed him to travel the globe performing with many celebrities. A rich history as a percussionist for The Gap Band, played a pivotal role in creating their unforgettable R&B classic, “Outstanding” the 12″ Single. Victor has had an extraordinary journey with his own battle of prostate cancer. For the last four years he has been cancer free. “I walked around not knowing my PSA numbers and when I finally found out, I was told it was 16.9. I was fortunate enough to have medical coverage, but then watched many of my musician colleagues and friends pass away from the disease, mainly because they did not have medical insurance, said Victor”.
