Scots surgeon diagnosed with incurable prostate cancer after noticing foot pain

A Scots surgeon who was diagnosed with incurable prostate cancer after noticing a pain in his foot is urging men to get tested for the disease.

Gareth Jones, 55, was diagnosed with an advanced form of the cancer in June 2021. He quickly faced a struggle to maintain his health - both physical and emotional - to the best of his ability as he received palliative care.

As reported by Glasgow Live, the urologist, who lives in Cambuslang with his wife Carol, was a fitness fanatic prior to his diagnosis. He spent years taking part in Iron Man challenges including swimming, biking and running.
