Former Scotland rugby star Kenny Logan has spoken candidly about the impact of his prostate cancer treatment on his sex life with wife Gabby Logan. The 50-year-old was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year and underwent surgery to have his prostate removed, but has now been given the all clear.
Logan recorded an audio diary with his wife, BBC Sport presenter Gabby, for her podcast The Midpoint, where they discussed the emotional effects of the treatment. He told the Telegraph: 'Whether it be my dyslexia, my relationship, IVF, we've always been quite open. So, I was quite happy to talk about erectile dysfunction and all these other things because I was like, 'It is a symptom'.'
Six months on, Logan says he is 'physically 100 per cent, mentally 100 per cent' but admits his sexual function is 'not consistent'. He explained: 'As the surgeon said to me, this could take 18 months. Within a month, I was getting movement, where he says, 'That's amazing'. So it's just not as consistent. The beauty is you can take a tablet and it changes things.'
Logan also paid tribute to his former Scotland teammate Doddie Weir, who died in November after a six-year battle with Motor Neurone Disease. He said: 'His resilience, his bravery, is nothing I can match. He was dealt the worst card in the world. And his bravery and his courage to battle it and take it head on, I think you saw the real Doddie, actually.'
During his playing career, Logan made 70 appearances for Scotland and spent seven years with London Wasps.
