Sir Cliff Richard reveals prostate cancer treatment

Sir Cliff Richard has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. The 85-year-old singer said the cancer was discovered after he had a check-up for a recent tour, but that it had been caught early and didn't spread.

I was going to Australia and New Zealand, and the promoter said, 'We need your insurance, so we should be screened for something. They found that I had. prostate cancer,

hetold ITV's Good Morning Britain. "The good fortune was that it was not very old, but the other thing was that no one had metastasized. It hadn't migrated, nothing into bones, or something like that. And the cancer's gone at the moment.

'Get checked'

Sir Cliff was speaking with journalist Dermot Murnaghan, who announced in June that he had stage four prostate cancer. I don't know if it's going to come back, the singer continued. We really can't tell you about these things.

But we must get there, get tested, and get checked,

I'm sure.

I think we, as men, have to start saying that we've got to be seen as human beings who could die as a result of this.

After the King spoke last week about his own cancer treatment and stressed the importance of screening for cancer at an early stage, Sir Cliff said he wants to work with the King to improve cancer screening for men. Sir Cliff has had hits including The Young Ones, We Don't Talk Anymore, and the Summer Holiday. The musician called the lack of a national screening program completely ridiculous.We all need to be able to have a test and then begin the therapy as early as possible,he said.It seems to me that I've only been in touch with cancer for one year, but every time I'm talking with someone, this has arisen, and I think our government should pay attention. A screening service for prostate cancer in the United Kingdom, according to the National Screening Committee, which advises governments around the country, is not justified. Only men with specific genetic mutations that result in more aggressive tumor formation, according to them, are eligible. At the end of November, a three-month consultation began before the committee reconvenes and gives its final recommendation to ministers in England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Scotland, who will all have to make their own decision on prostate screening.
