Key Highlights

  • Hislop said he had been diagnosed with “a fairly aggressive prostate cancer” about 18 months ago, which required surgery.
  • Further tests showed the cancer had spread.“Roughly 18 months ago, I went for my annual physical and insisted on a PSA test, as I always do,” Hislop, 56, said in a video on Instagram.
  • “This time around though my PSA was elevated.
  • An MRI and biopsy quickly determined that I had a fairly aggressive prostate cancer.“A year ago, almost to the day, 6 December to be exact, I had a radical prostatectomy, and I thought that was it.
  • But then, six months later, my PSA was again on the rise and another scan showed that my prostate cancer had spread to my pelvic bone.
