He didn’t end there and went into more detail, explaining how this was something he first found out about a year ago. According to his tweet, “a year and a half ago, I underwent successful surgery for an enlarged benign prostate, and since then I have been under routine medical monitoring.”

“In the last monitoring, a tiny spot of less than a centimeter was discovered in the prostate. Upon examination, it turned out to be a very early stage of a malignant tumor, with no spread or metastases whatsoever.”
