Two reactions. Was it a shock? Yes, because it was bad news and anything like that comes as a shock. Was it a surprise? No, because I knew my PSA levels had been rising. The news didn’t scare me. I didn’t think, 'This is going to kill me'. And I don’t want to shy away from it.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was treated for early-stage prostate cancer, according to his office. He underwent targeted treatment at Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem. Netanyahu delayed publication of his medication report to avoid it being shared during the Iran conflict, he said. In an official statement, Netanyahu explained that a year and a half ago, he underwent successful surgery for an enlarged benign prostate, and since then he has been under routine medical monitoring. In the last monitoring, a tiny spot of less than a centimetre was discovered in the prostate. Upon examination, it turned out to be a very early stage of a malignant tumour, with no spread or metastases whatsoever. He added that when he is given information in time about a potential danger, he wants to address it immediately, both on the national level and on the personal level.

Janne Andersson, former Sweden national football team manager, had prostate cancer before the 2018 FIFA World Cup, according to Fotbollskanalen. Andersson described how the diagnosis came during a routine check-up before the tournament.
But when I first got the answer to what it was, that it doesn't spread and that it can be operated on. That was a real relief.
I have a tumor in my kidney that will be operated on in Paris in a few weeks.
At the beginning of the year when we were on the January tour, I was out walking with the national team doctor Anders Wallentin one of our many morning walks, and I had to stop and pee a couple of times. Then he said: That we should check up somehow. And the result from the ultrasound examination I got on the same day we gathered with players and leaders before the World Cup. And it was that I had prostate cancer.
There are so many who have been affected by worse things than I have. But of course when you are rolled in on the stretcher and there are lights and machines and people around you... Then you are not cocky.
