Auburn Coach Hugh Freeze, 55, ‘At Peace’ After Prostate Cancer Diagnosis


Auburn football coach Hugh Freeze explained why he's foregoing treatment for the time being after being diagnosed with cancer in February

During a Tuesday, April 8, interview with ESPN, Freeze revealed that his doctors said his cancer was low aggressive, so he made the decision to wait until January of next year to reassess the situation instead of having surgery.

Coach Freeze is incredibly appreciative of our medical professionals and has asked that we use his experience as a reminder of the importance of prioritizing and scheduling annual health screenings.”
