Musician Montell Jordan has opened up about his ongoing battle with prostate cancer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The “This Is How We Do It” singer confirmed on the TODAY show<\/a> Thursday, Sept. 3, that his cancer returned after he underwent prostate removal surgery last year. The R&B artist was first diagnosed in January 2024 and later thanked early detection and a prostatectomy procedure for being cancer free.<\/p>\n

However, further check-ups revealed he had cancer in his lymph nodes, which he is undergoing radiation to treat.<\/p>\n

“I’m not completely on the other side of that journey and still have some additional work that needs to get done that starts in October,” Jordan said, adding he’s “fully confident” that “God is (my) healer.”<\/p>\n

“I also know that I have the greatest of care professionals and people alongside of me to make sure that we are completely cancer free,” he added. Jordan also said he didn’t know there was such a thing as being a two-time cancer survivor, but “that’s the journey that I’m on right now.”<\/p>\n

As a Global Ambassador for non-profit ZERO Prostate Cancer<\/a>, Jordan urged men to end the stigma that exists around conversations about the disease. He urged anyone with male loved ones in their lives to encourage routine prostate exams to promote early detection.<\/p>\n

“If I’m not getting checked basically I’m playing Russian Roulette with my life,” he said.<\/p>\n

How common is prostate cancer?<\/p>\n

The National Cancer Institute<\/a> states that nearly 13% of all men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point in their lifetime and that in 2022, an estimated 3.5 million men were living with it in the United States.<\/p>\n

Prostate cancer makes up about 15.4% of all cancer cases<\/a>, according to the National Cancer Institute. The group predicted that there would be more than 313,000 cases in 2025.<\/p>\n

“I find that it’s something that a lot of men don’t talk about,” Dr. Samuel Haywood<\/a>, a urologist specializing in prostate cancer, previously told USA TODAY. “Men can be very stoic, and they don’t like to talk about their health issues.”<\/p>\n

What are the symptoms of prostate cancer?<\/p>\n

According to the Cleveland Clinic<\/a>, the symptoms of prostate cancer include:<\/p>\n

Frequent, sometimes urgent, need to pee, especially at nightWeak urine flow or flow that starts and stopsPain or burning during urinationLoss of bladder controlLoss of bowel controlPainful ejaculation and\u00a0erectile dysfunctionBlood in semen or urinationPain in lower back, hip or chest<\/p>\n
