Doug Cockle, the English voice actor for Geralt in The Witcher series, recently announced on Twitter that he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. He stated that it was discovered during a routine check-up and that he is currently undergoing treatment. Cockle also reminded men over 50 to regularly undergo PSA (prostate-specific antigen) testing as a precautionary measure.
I had no idea. Random check and Boom… I have full blown prostate cancer. Treatment ongoing but looking good so far. Men over 50… get a PSA test… just in case. 🙂❤️ More info at @ProstateUK #MensHealth #health #prostatecancerawareness #prostatehealth https://t.co/HFItTImvU2
