Premier League player shares news of a ‘serious’ cancer diagnosis on

A Premier League star has disclosed that he is fighting an “aggressive” form of prostate cancer.

On Thursday (4 December), Shaka Hislop shared in a video on Instagram that he has recently completed two months of medication and radiation therapy, adding that the “journey continues.”

The former Newcastle and West Ham player revealed that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer after undergoing a PSA test 18 months ago. He has had a prostatectomy, but unfortunately, the cancer has since spread to his pelvic bone.

He encouraged others 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.”
