Former Newcastle Goalkeeper Shaka Hislop Reveals Prostate Cancer Diagnosis
Shaka Hislop completed seven-and-a-half weeks of radiation after aggressive prostate cancer spread to his pelvic bone, following surgery and medication, he said.
- Shaka Hislop completed seven-and-a-half weeks of radiation therapy soon after his prostate cancer spread to his pelvic bone, revealing this in an Instagram video.
- Roughly 18 months ago, Hislop said he insisted on a PSA test that was elevated, prompting MRI and biopsy which identified fairly aggressive prostate cancer; he had a radical prostatectomy on December 6 and started medication soon after.
- Doctors recommend that all men over the age of 50 get PSA checks, dropping to 40 for men of African descent; Hislop urged Caribbean men to track their PSA and noted genetic testing showed no family traits but did not exclude risk this year.
- Prostate cancer can be survivable if caught early, Hislop said, urging men to participate in routine health checks and noting genetic testing showed no family traits but did not exclude risk this year.
- If PSA tests aren’t routine where you live, Hislop urged men to insist on them, as his profile as a former goalkeeper and television analyst could boost awareness.
