MCGREGOR’S BIKE BUDDY HAS CANCER SURGERY
EWAN MCGREGOR’s round-the-world travelling companion CHARLEY BOORMAN has undergone surgery after a testicular cancer scare.
Boorman, son of Deliverance director John Boorman, teamed up with the T rainspotting star for a marathon motorcycle trip from London to New York in 2004.
The pair filmed their adventures for their Long Way Round television se ries, which also spawned a bestselling book of the same name.
Boorman has revealed he underwent surgery to remove one of his testicle s earlier this month (Feb10) after doctors found a lump.
He has now been given the all-clear from medics and is urging other men to check themselves thoroughly.
He says, "The doctors dealt with it very, very quickly. I had a testicl e removed and a silicone one put in. I was lucky and everything is fine. In fact, it’s quite pretty. Seriously though, it is very important for me n to check themselves out properly if they notice any changes. Early diag nosis is key."
