Jarvis Greer triumphs over cancer 2.0; encourages men to get PSA tests

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - If you’re keeping score, it’s Jarvis Greer two and prostate cancer: zero. Zilch. Nil. Nothing! But this latest battle has taken a toll on the retired Action News 5 sports director.
“The fatigue is what’s really debilitating,” Jarvis remembered after 34 rounds of radiation that he underwent in his second season of cancer recovery. “I was going every day, five days a week, 7 a.m.,” Jarvis said of his trips to West Cancer Center in Germantown.
“You’ve got to drink a gallon of water before you go out there because your bladder has to be full, so they make sure they see everything,” the sportsman said.
He remains active online covering the Memphis Grizzlies and on radio coverage of University of Memphis Tigers football, where he walked on as a defensive back in the mid-1970s and earned a scholarship and the No. 34 jersey.
