F1 News: Eddie Jordan reveals 'aggressive' cancer diagnosis

Ex-Formula 1 Team Principal Eddie Jordan has provided an update on his fight with bladder and prostate cancer.

Jordan, on his podcast, Formula For Success, said that “the latest prognosis is absolutely fantastic” but urges listeners to go out and get screened

Jordan said: “We’ve kind of alluded to it, David, over the shows, way back in March and April, I was diagnosed with bladder and prostate cancer, and then it spread into the spine and the pelvis, so it was quite aggressive.“

“And we’ve all heard about our wonderful friend, Sir Chris Hoy, who’s an absolute megastar, and coming out and talking about illnesses such like what I’ve gotten, but he’s a far younger man.“

Hoy recently announced that he has been diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer, despite showing little to no outward symptoms.

He also offered advice for anyone who may be hesitant about getting screened.

“Go and get tested, because in life, you’ve got chances.

“And there is so much medical advice out there and so many things that you can do to extend your lifetime.

“Go and do it, don’t be stupid, don’t be shy.

“It’s not a shy thing, look after your body, guys.

“We’ll move on, but yes, some very dark days in there – but we pulled out of it, thankfully.”
