Sir Cliff's cancer treatment

SIR Cliff Richard has revealed he has been treated for prostate cancer for the past year.

The 85-year-old singer said his cancer had “gone at the moment” and backed calls for a national screening test for men.

In an interview with ITV's Good Morning Britain, he said: “I don’t know whether it’s going to come back. We can’t tell those sort of things but we need to, absolutely, I'm convinced, get there, get tested, get checked.”

He said he was diagnosed after a health check for his insurance ahead of a concert tour of Australia and New Zealand.

“The good fortune was that it was not very old, and the other thing is that it has not metastasised. Nothing had moved into bones or anything like that.”
