About this listen
What happens when a young Veteran is diagnosed with cancer after being misdiagnosed by the system meant to protect him?
In this episode, John S. Berry speaks with Ashton and Casey Kroner, Marine Corps Veterans and founders of the Veteran Cancer Network, about the urgent need for earlier cancer detection in the Veteran community. After Casey was misdiagnosed at the VA and later diagnosed with testicular cancer at age 34, they began asking hard questions about age-based screening protocols and toxic exposure risks for post-9/11 Veterans.
They discuss increased cancer risk among Veterans, gaps between active-duty and VA medical systems, and the importance of persistent self-advocacy in healthcare. Ashton and Casey also share the mission behind Pedal for Impact, a cycling initiative from Florida to Washington, DC to raise awareness and push for policy change.
