Shaka Hislop reveals ‘aggressive’ prostate cancer diagnosis
Premier League star reveals cancer diagnosis
Former Premier League star Shaka Hislop has revealed he is battling an aggressive form of prostate cancer.
The former Newcastle and West Ham player announced on Thursday (4 December) via Instagram that he recently completed two months of medication and radiation therapy.
Hislop discovered the cancer 18 months ago following a PSA test, which led to a prostatectomy.
Despite initial treatment, the cancer has since spread to his pelvic bone, and he stated his 'journey continues'.
He urged the public to get tested for prostate cancer, particularly in countries like the UK where PSA tests may require insistence.
