He`s just being interviewed on PW about it and sounds quite hopeful that he will be OK

Get well soon, you can beat this thing.

My old man died of Prostate Cancer. What I’d say (even considering that), is if you’re going to get a cancer it’s one of the “better” ones to get as the prognosis is better than others. What I’d do is familiarise yourselves with the risk factors if you are a man, as this is one that can creep up on you. If you’re over 45, have a family history of prostate cancer, and are if afro-Caribbean descent, your risk is markedly increased. Even if you’re not one of these, then it’s always worth being aware of the risk signs - but if you do have one or more of these factors, a GP consultation is a good thing. Check your risk here

Dad was the kind of bloke who ignored things. I think in some ways he was scared. Even with that, he survived with Prostate Cancer for 10 years. If one person reads this and takes heed, in addition to everything else like the Junior Reds it will have been a worthwhile legacy.

All the best to Paul and anyone else suffering xx
