Ben Stiller reveals he was diagnosed with prostate cancer two years ago
He urges men to talk to their doctor about a PSA test.
Ben Stiller has revealed that two years ago he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, resulting in him having his prostate removed.
The Zoolander actor was just 48 at the time of diagnosis.
Now 50 years old, Ben has opened up about his diagnosis and the illness on Tuesday's Howard Stern Show.
The Howard Stern Show is a radio talk show, broadcast across satellite radio in the US.
Talking to the show's host, Ben explained how it "came out of the blue".
He went on to say how he was told to take the test by his doctor, and he feels that the test saved his life.
Ben is now urging men to get tested with the simple PSA test, which revealed he might have cancer. The PSA test is a simple blood test which measures the amount of prostate specific antigen (PSA) in your blood.
