Shaka Hislop has revealed he is fighting “fairly aggressive” prostate cancer that has spread to his pelvic bone, and he recently completed a course of radiation therapy.
Former Newcastle United goalkeeper Shaka Hislop has courageously revealed he is battling “fairly aggressive” prostate cancer following a diagnosis 18 months ago.
After an elevated PSA test, an MRI and biopsy confirmed the disease. The 56-year-old subsequently underwent a radical prostatectomy one year ago, believing the ordeal was over.
Hislop shared a heartbreaking update on Instagram, noting his “journey continues.” Six months after surgery, a scan showed the cancer had spread to his pelvic bone.
The former “Entertainer” has since started medication and just completed seven-and-a-half weeks of radiation therapy.
