\u201cThis is why I have to say to everybody who\u2019s reading this, please, please, please go and get checked. It\u2019s not uncomfortable, it\u2019s not undignified. And it\u2019s a no-brainer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did, and that\u2019s why I\u2019m sitting here talking to you 11 months down the line. 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clarkson – who still needs regular blood tests and monitoring, and is remaining positive and hopeful the cancer will not return – moved viewers to tears when he shared his diagnosis in the final two episodes of his show.<\/p>\n

Clarkson also told The Times how he was readmitted to hospital for another procedure – which he described as \u201cspectacularly painful\u201d – because he resumed a course of tablets he had been taking for cardiac issues without asking his doctors first.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThat 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 then cancer treatment.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo or three weeks after the cancer operation, I thought I\u2019d better put myself back on those blood thinners. Big mistake, huge.\u201d<\/p>\n

Season six of Clarkson\u2019s Farm is set to air in 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cThis is why I have to say to everybody who\u2019s reading this, please, please, please go and get…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":487566,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[74,42772,696,3221,1558,2534,18221,4731,796,156,16555,5420,78,67252,111,139,69,29138,49464,12860],"class_list":["post-487565","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-after","tag-aggressive","tag-announced","tag-battling","tag-been","tag-cancer","tag-clarkson","tag-days","tag-diagnosis","tag-entertainment","tag-form","tag-hes","tag-in","tag-jeremy","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-prostate","tag-remission","tag-revealed"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487565","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=487565"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487565\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/487566"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=487565"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=487565"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=487565"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
