Now, in a bid to save lives, he is speaking out about his own diagnosis, alongside the doctors who successfully treated himSteve McQueen felt relieved when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He had no symptoms, was perfectly fit, at the peak of his game. Yet the Oscar-winning film-maker and artist believed it was inevitable. After all, his father had died from it, and he is a black man.
