LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Former Kentucky and New Mexico State football coach Hal Mumme said he stubbornly waited until the conclusion of a stressful season to get tested for prostate cancer, despite the advice of team doctors and his cancer-surviving wife that he do it earlier.
With the biopsy on Jan. 9 confirming the worst fears from earlier blood tests, the coach said Tuesday he considers himself fortunate that his delay was merely "stupid" rather than deadly.
On Wednesday, Mumme will undergo a procedure at the University of Kentucky's Markey Cancer Center that doctors believe will stop the disease before it spreads. Should all go according to plan, Mumme, who has been unemployed since New Mexico State fired him in December, can resume his search for a new coaching job as early as this spring.
But first, the coach said he wanted to share his story with hopes that it will inspire other men to get tested more quickly than he did. He held a news conference Tuesday, flanked by his daughter, Karen Handel, and Stephen Strup, the UK doctor who will perform the procedure.
