Biden's Prostate Cancer Diagnosis Is an All-Too-Common One in American Men
- Feargal Sharkey, the 66-year-old former rock star and water advocate, shared that during a routine visit to his doctor about a year and a half ago, he learned he had prostate cancer.
- His diagnosis followed a random check for a sore throat, which unexpectedly led to cancer detection that has since been resolved about a year ago.

- Sharkey’s disclosure highlights the commonality of prostate cancer and could prompt more men to seek early diagnosis and contribute to public awareness efforts.
