Darth Vader Having Treatment For Cancer
Discussion
Prowse, who is also well known for his Green Cross Code traffic safety adverts, said: "I've had two months' radiotherapy treatment at the Royal Marsden. It's the most fantastic hospital you could ever wish to go to."
"The only thing I've had is hot flushes and my wife tells me I'm going menopausal."
"Every man over the age of 50 should have a PSA test (a blood test for prostate cancer) and that just gives you some indication of whether you have prostate problems."
James Earl Jones provided the voice for Vader in the films, as Bristol-born Prowse's West Country accent was felt to be unsuitable for the part.
After Star Wars became a massive international hit in 1977, Prowse took his huge frame to the small screen as the Green Cross Code man, teaching youngsters to stop, look and listen before crossing the road in a long-running and popular TV campaign.

Getting stuff shoved up your bum is a small price to pay. If I had a colonoscope in the last ten years or so, I'd still have an intact back passage.
Radiation, chemo, surgeries, and the collateral damage is a pain in the arse. Quite literally. I feel like I'm getting a butt exam every day now...
Get your butts checked out. Both colorectal and prostate cancers are killers.

I know what you have been through, it aint nice.
Apparently one should get a colonoscope once every five years after age 40 or so. The cancer starts out as a little polyp which can be nipped out painlessly during the exam.
Beats the hell out of a colostomy.
