Reform UK's Malcolm Offord Reveals Prostate Cancer Diagnosis
Malcolm Offord, the leader of Reform UK in Scotland, has revealed he was diagnosed with prostate cancer on May 7.
Offord said he had a procedure last week to remove his prostate and is now 'clear' and 'raring to go'.
He spoke to comedian Matt Forde at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe about being diagnosed with cancer, saying it was a 'scary thing' but urged men to 'just get checked'.
Offord, a former Conservative peer, led Reform to a Scottish Parliament breakthrough in May with 17 seats. He is now leading Reform UK as joint-second biggest party at Holyrood.
The 61-year-old said the prostate cancer diagnosis was 'pretty routine', but emphasized that medics are all over it and can fix it fast.
Offord urged men to get checked, saying he had lost friends since joining Reform. He is now feeling pretty good after surgery and believes the benefit of talking about prostate cancer is that it brings attention to a topic often avoided by men in their 50s and 60s.
