Doctor breaks down Jeremy Clarkson’s cancer with symptoms to look out for

A doctor has revealed what symptoms to look out for following Jeremy Clarkson's cancer diagnosis.

The former Top Gear presenter revealed on the fifth season of Clarkson's Farm that he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

In the latest episode, the 66-year-old said the cancer is 'aggressive' but had been discovered early.

He also revealed that he underwent an operation to remove part of his prostate and the episode ended with him saying that he had experienced complications during treatment.

"He says as part of his treatment, he's had 10 percent of his prostate removed via ultrasound because that was the part probably affected by the cancer," Dr Amir said on ITV's Lorraine.

"We don't know entirely the details of of that just yet. He did tell the boys, Caleb and Charlie on the show, that he's going to be okay."

He explained that 'aggressive cancer doesn't necessarily mean advanced cancer' and 'even aggressive cancers, if caught early, can be treated really well. And he has said that this has been caught early'.

Dr Amir revealed that the symptoms of prostate cancer are:

• Difficulty passing urine
• Starting and stopping your stream
• Blood in your semen
• Difficulty getting an erection
• Dribbling at the end of your urination

"It was part of a routine check that he went to. It was picked up, and he had a biopsy, and that's what diagnosed the cancer," the health expert continued.

"So is good news in that it is being picked up early, and he's on the right treatment now, and he's told the boys on the farm that he's going to be okay."

Dr Amir went on to explain the importance of men speaking up and 'how going to routine checks is really important'.

He reminded viewers that 'the NHS offers free routine checks to everyone over the age of 40'.

Speaking from a hospital bed at the end of the season finale, Clarkson also said he had experienced complications during treatment.

“We started season five with me in a hospital bed and here we are at the end of season five and I’m back in a hospital bed,” he explained.

In terms of his future on the show, Clarkson added: “What I wanted to say was if this is all successful, I’ll see you for season six, and if it isn’t, I won’t. Take care, everyone.”
