ESPN anchor Jay Harris reveals prostate cancer diagnosis
ESPN broadcaster Jay Harris announced on Thursday he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and will undergo surgery next week to deal with the issue. Harris appeared on "Good Morning America" and sat down with former New York Giants star Michael Strahan to reveal his personal health battle. "I was diagnosed with prostate cancer," he told Strahan. "I'm having surgery on Tuesday. I'll be away from 'SportsCenter' for about a month to recover. Then I'm coming back better than ever." Harris said his doctor was "quite optimistic" about his prognosis. He said nothing had spread, according to his latest scans, and was hoping that once the issue is dealt with, then that would be the last of his problems. The 60-year-old sportscaster said he hoped to spread some awareness and implore men to open up more about getting regular checkups and seeing doctors who can check these things out. He also wrote about his diagnosis for ESPN. "My goal in sharing this is to join the many others who also want to normalize this conversation and hopefully provide a bit of guidance and preparation, just as it has been offered to me," he wrote. Harris said he has leaned on colleagues Hannah Storm and Brian Custer, both who have dealt with their own serious health issues over the years. He said they both provided both inspiration and "real talk" about what to expect. Fox News senior medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel had previously called out the need for regular screenings. "[Screenings] decreased in many areas, including California, as the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommended against PSA as a regular screening tool, which I always disagreed with," he told Fox News Digital earlier this year. "Especially as MRI advanced, so not all elevated PSA automatically meant a biopsy." Based on the increase in prostate cancer cases across all ages, Siegel emphasized the need to "diagnose it early for better outcomes."

Singer and environmentalist reveals cancer diagnosis in plea to 'beautiful, wonderful' men
Singer and environmental activist Feargal Sharkey has disclosed that he was diagnosed with cancer last year after seeking medical advice for a sore throat. The water rights advocate, who has been campaigning in Wales, said that his health scare was "resolved" a year ago, and he encouraged other men to get checked out. "My doctor, being the beautiful, wonderful, awkward, cantankerous old man that he is, went, 'Oh Feargal, by the way, you're 65 now, I'm going to run the full battery of tests,'" he told the Daily Express. He added: "Two days later, it turns out, I began a journey which led to the [diagnosis] of prostate cancer."

Stay informed on the latest health news by signing up to our newsletter here Sharkey made a direct plea to the public, urging men to stay aware of their health options. "Now, for one in eight of you, you will be put in the same journey I've had, and it's quite astonishing to think that in this country right now, one in eight men have prostate cancer," he stated. "Most of them don't even know it. So go and have the blood test and if you're lucky, you'll walk away." There are several methods doctors use to diagnose prostate cancer. These include a physical examination of the prostate (known as a digital rectal examination, or DRE), blood tests, biopsies, and MRI scans. Men may be offered a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test to look for markers in the blood. However, the PSA test is not used in routine NHS screening because it is not yet reliable enough to detect prostate cancer that requires treatment. However, men over 50 can request a PSA test from their GP. The water campaigner has been involved in projects in Wales, including a protest against the state of Welsh Rivers. 'The River Wye is being poisoned, it is dying, and is being obliterated' said Feargal, while protesting outside Cardiff's Civil Justice Centre on February 7, last year. Feargal claimed the government agency set up for the river's protection 'has utterly failed through its own incompetence and that needs to be corrected".
