Former Scotland rugby international Kenny Logan has bravely opened up about his prostate cancer diagnosis and the profound impact it has had on his life, particularly his relationship with wife Gabby Logan.
In a candid interview, Kenny revealed the emotional and physical toll of his diagnosis, including the challenges it posed to his intimate life. "It's not something men talk about often, but prostate cancer changes everything," he admitted.
The Diagnosis That Changed Everything
Kenny, now 51, was diagnosed with prostate cancer after a routine health check. "I had no symptoms, which is why regular checks are so important," he emphasised. The news came as a shock to both him and Gabby, a well-known TV presenter.
Facing the Challenges Head-On
The treatment journey was gruelling, with Kenny undergoing surgery and radiotherapy. "The physical side effects were tough, but the emotional strain was harder," he shared. One of the most difficult aspects was the impact on his sex life. "It's a big part of any marriage, and when that changes, it affects everything," Kenny explained.
Gabby's Unwavering Support
Throughout the ordeal, Gabby stood by his side. "She's been my rock," Kenny said. "We've had to adapt, but our relationship is stronger than ever." The couple, married for over 20 years, have been open about their struggles to help others facing similar battles.
Raising Awareness
Kenny is now using his platform to encourage men to get regular check-ups. "Early detection saves lives," he urged. "Don't wait for symptoms – be proactive about your health." His story serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of open conversations about men's health issues.
