Fox Business correspondent Charlie Gasparino was diagnosed with prostate cancer last month, and he shared his diagnosis publicly in his New York Post column.
"A few weeks before my diagnosis, like many New Yorkers, I caught Covid but had only mild symptoms. I worked out every day, throwing around weights in my basement and shadow boxing. A day after my 10-day quarantine, I ran six miles. I proclaimed I would live until 120, at least," Gasparino said.
"Then the blood test results came back: spiking PSA levels. (PSA is an enzyme and its elevation is a marker, albeit not a perfect one, for cancer of this annoying gland.) My recent MRI was fine, but the blood kept coming back weird, so my doctors recommended a biopsy. A day later, it came back with the diagnosis no one wants to hear: "Malignant prostate cancer."
Gasparino appeared on Neil Cavuto's FBN show Coast to Coast Monday to discuss his cancer diagnosis further with a man who is all too familiar with cancer. Cavuto was previously diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1997 and successfully fought "near-life-ending" cancer years ago.
Gasparino conveyed that he had surgery last week and will be OK. Furthermore, he shared some advice for viewers: "Take action. Listen to your doctors. Don't be afraid. The alternative is so much worse…."
