According to a thread on X, formerly known as Twitter, Freeman explained that he has been diagnosed with the disease, but assures the community that it was caught early. He also said he would be starting treatment next week and would be missing a few future city council meetings.
Although the news may be bad for some, Freeman used the opportunity to encourage men in Jacksonville to get prostate exams so that it can be caught early and be treated before it becomes a serious issue for others.“I was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. My family and I are thankful it was caught early and I am scheduled to begin treatment next week.
