Kenny Logan Reveals He Was Treated for Prostate Cancer
Former Scotland international and spouse of BBC journalist Gabby, Kenny Logan, has disclosed that he underwent prostate cancer treatment earlier this year.

Logan emphasized that “the important thing [the consultant] stated to me was that “40% of your friends have this [something and will live with it], they simply aren’t aware of it.”
He subsequently received a prostate cancer diagnosis in February. Logan revealed that he had surgery to have his prostate removed, saying, “It was a great shock.
Logan said he was astonished by the news because he had no symptoms and claimed he was now “95%” back to normal. Logan continued, “I’m really lucky. I didn’t see it coming. I had to go hunting for it.
Between 1993 and 2002, Logan earned 70 Scotland caps. He played with Wasps for seven years, winning the Premiership with them in 2003. Logan subsequently played for Glasgow and London Scottish before retiring in 2005.
Social media users who watched Logan’s interview praised his guts for disclosing his problem in public, while others who saw it said they will schedule prostate consultations after hearing about Logan’s experience.
Prostate Cancer UK estimates that one in eight men will develop prostate cancer, with those over 50 having an even higher risk.
Gabby Logan later tweeted: “Very proud of @KennyLogan wanting to share his experiences this year. For all of you blokes who are of a certain age don’t wait for symptoms. Go get checked. #prostatecancerawarenessmonth”
