Dave Rose enters ninth year in fight against cancer, raising as much money as he can for cure

Jaren Wilkey, BYU

PROVO — Dave Rose is coming up on nine years in his triumph over pancreatic cancer that was discovered in June 2009.

It hit him from left field, as big a surprise as anyone can imagine. But he’s survived.

Survive. That's the daily mantra for Rose and his family. Rose just moved to Woodland Hills from Provo. Today, he's vacationing in Southern California.

Rose still undergoes some occasional “procedures” during the offseason, he says. Otherwise he is doing fine and so is the golf charity that carries his name and that of his wife Cheryl.
