In an interview with The Times, Clarkson confirmed that a PSA test two months ago revealed no indication of cancer and he is officially in remission.<\/p>\n
He said: “I was talking to David (Cameron) about it earlier this morning. He said the amount of people that come up to him and say, if you hadn\u2019t owned up to it, I wouldn\u2019t have got checked, and they wouldn\u2019t have found it.<\/p>\n
“So now there\u2019s a group of us, (food writer) Giles Coren, David, me, one or two other people, and we meet for lunch every so often. Everybody has different Gleason scores, and everybody has different Stockholm and PSA scores. We all compare notes and I actually get muddled with what mine were.<\/p>\n
“But it is quite funny watching people looking at us and going, ‘that\u2019s quite an interesting group of people, what do they all share in common?\u2019.”<\/p>\n

\nJeremy Clarkson met up with David Cameron to discuss their prostate cancer diagnoses with other famous faces<\/p>\n
Clarkson went on to say that the news of his diagnosis has “landed harder than I thought it would”.<\/p>\n
He added: “This is why I have to say to everybody who\u2019s reading this, please, please, please go and get checked.<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s not uncomfortable, it\u2019s not undignified, and it\u2019s a no-brainer. I did, and that\u2019s why I\u2019m sitting here talking to you 11 months down the line.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019ve seen so many people die of cancer. It doesn\u2019t bear thinking about what it must be like to live knowing that an illness is going to kill you.<\/p>\n
“It must be very, very, very distressing. I don\u2019t know the history of what happened to (former Olympic cyclist) Chris Hoy, but to be told your cancer is inoperable and to still carry on you\u2019d have to be incredibly brave.”<\/p>\n

\nClarkson said the news of his diagnosis has “landed harder than I thought it would<\/p>\n
Speaking from a hospital bed at the end of the season finale, Clarkson revealed he had experienced complications during treatment, which he told The Times had been caused by him resuming a course of tablets he had been taking for his earlier vascular and cardiac problems.<\/p>\n
He said: “That was horrific and it was all my own fault. I\u2019d been on drugs for heart issues and I had to come off them during the cancer treatment.<\/p>\n
“Two or three weeks after the cancer operation, I thought I\u2019d better put myself back on those blood thinners. Big mistake, huge.<\/p>\n
“It (resulted in) a very big emergency in the middle of the night. I\u2019m not even going to go into the treatment that was required as a result of that, because it was horrible. I didn\u2019t ask a doctor, I just thought, \u2018I\u2019m sure it will be all right to go back on blood thinners\u2019.”<\/p>\n
The diagnosis came almost two years after Clarkson underwent a heart procedure, which saw him fitted with two stents to improve blood flow to the heart.<\/p>\n
He said his doctor had told him to stop working following the operation and that he had been advised to replace work with golf in a column for The Sun at the time.<\/p>\n
The TV presenter previously quit smoking after contracting pneumonia on holiday in Spain.<\/p>\n
Clarkson\u2019s Farm follows the long-time television presenter and his crew as they navigate the challenges of running Diddly Squat Farm near Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire.<\/p>\n
Since deciding to run his farm in 2019 and subsequently launching his popular reality series, Clarkson has become a vocal supporter of farmers and attended a protest in London against the UK government\u2019s move to introduce inheritance tax on farmland in November 2024.<\/p>\n
