Doug Cockle, the voice of Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher video games, has spoken out on his prostate cancer diagnosis and the importance of getting tested.
Speaking to IGN, the beloved voice actor explained he had no obvious symptoms pointing to cancer but a combination of different factors led him to get checked.
"I had no symptoms, no pain, nothing I could point to in my body that was telling me that I have prostate cancer," Cockle said. "In that sense my diagnosis was a big surprise." A family history of prostate cancer had always been in the back of Cockle's mind, however, and after watching a documentary in which an interviewee spoke of lower back pain — something he experienced as a result of mild sciatica — he decided to get tested.
Cockle was amused when asked if remaining positive, as he did in the tweet, is something he values highly. "If my wife heard you call me a force of positivity she'd probably have a really good chuckle," he said. "I'm a nightmare. She always says that I'm great in a crisis but terrible with spilt milk.
"I guess my personal journey with cancer has been a bit of a crisis which I have tried to attack with positivity. Just don't spill any milk nearby!"
Cockle said he was lucky to have such a strong support network around him too, but made clear their are myriad resources and organisations available to those looking for help. "I have been fortunate," he said. "My wife has been a rock. Family and friends have all been amazing and the support from people online has been lovely."
Cockle also praised Prostate Cancer UK and Macmillan Cancer Support for providing plenty of literature and information about the disease and treatments alongside other valuable support.
