Don Laka reveals battle with prostrate cancer

Music veteran Don Laka disclosed that he was diagnosed with prostrate cancer and is currently receiving treatment.

He has been advising men to go for regular checkups.

Laka revealed that it was during one of those checkups that doctors discovered he had the disease.

“I go for regular checkups and I post to remind people that they need to also. Will continue to do that as long as there are people there to support me. I have never shared my results before but I have been diagnosed with it. It was five years ago. I am on medication and I am fine.

“It is manageable, but if you do not go for checkups you will not know the signs of cancer. They can isolate it at an early stage and you live a normal life.”

Laka is determined to live a normal life, recording music and performing across the country.
