When Bob Lane learned he had Stage 4 prostate cancer, he was alone and blindsided. Years later, with his cancer stable, Bob volunteers at the same hospital where he received treatment to make sure other men don’t have to go through their cancer journey alone.

He takes a hands-off approach, sitting by the clinic’s elevator a couple days a week in case anyone wants to talk – helping an estimated 500 patients and family members so far.

“I’m just someone who has been living with this for 13 years and is still here to talk about it,” he says. Bob hopes his story “gives someone hope on the worst day of their life.”

Meet “Elevator Bob” and see what he also does outside the clinic!
