Premier League star reveals ‘aggressive’ cancer diagnosis
A Premier League star has revealed that they are battling an “aggressive” form of prostate cancer.
On Thursday (4 December), Shaka Hislop explained in a video on Instagram that he has just completed two months of medication and radiation therapy, adding that the “journey continues”.
The ex-Newcastle and West Ham player said he discovered he had prostate cancer when he went for his PSA test 18 months ago. He has since had a prostatectomy, but the cancer has now spread to his pelvic bone.
He urged people to “please, go get tested”, adding: “If you’re somewhere like the UK or somewhere else where PSA tests aren’t encouraged, you have got to insist.”
