Regarding the fact that prostate cancer ran down in his family when his grandfather, father, and uncle had already lost their lives to the disease, Woods knew the possibility of it coming for him as well sooner or later. And this is why the meteorologist got himself checked regularly and prepared himself before it was too late.
