Kwaku Sintim-Misa, the Ghanaian satirist has revealed that he has been battling prostate cancer.
The satirist said he had to undergo surgery to have some relief.
He Narrated His Story
I’ve been through a battle with prostate cancer in the last year. I was in the US and I had to go through prostatectomy. That’s a very radical surgery to get rid of your entire prostrate”, he said.
“It started when a friend of mine told me he was now working with the American Rejuvenation centre, so he wants me to come and do a checkup; to come and check my PSA. I kept stalling. So at one point I said I’ll go, like I’m doing him a favor. And when I did the checkup, the guy said ‘actually your PSA levels are very high. And I’m not comfortable with your PSA level,” he added.
The satirist shared that he knew his PSA levels were very high, but felt strong because he embarks on daily exercises.
“I do at least 5 kilometer walk every morning,” he indicated.
“I didn’t have any symptoms. I go for my walk, no tiredness, no loss of appetite, no blood in urine, no painful ejaculation,” he said.
KSM therefore urged black men, especially from age 30 to “do your PSA checks. There’s a difference between being fit and being healthy”, he added.
