*Montell Jordan recently disclosed a new chapter in his prostate cancer journey. Nearly a year after undergoing a prostatectomy, follow-up scans revealed cancer in the lymph nodes near his prostate.
“I always imagined I would be telling my prostate cancer story from the other side of prostate cancer because I had a radical prostatectomy surgery. My prostate was removed. There were clear margins,” he told TODAY. “Close to a year post-prostatectomy, I still need to go back and have additional treatments because it’s [been] detected that there is still cancer.”
Jordan’s initial stage 2 prostate cancer diagnosis came in early 2024, detected through a PSA test that measures prostate-specific antigen levels. Regular screenings over a decade, including blood tests and rectal exams, were crucial in catching the aggressive cancer early.

“Because I was going and had a history of what my blood levels were like, that’s how they were able to detect it,” he explained. “Early detection is the thing that allows me to have a choice to treat [my cancer] and live and to continue giving myself the best quality of life possible.”
To address the new cancer findings, Jordan will undergo targeted radiation and hormone blockers to halt the disease’s progression. He described the treatment as “a seven-and-a-half week interruption of life to make sure that I have a longer life.” His openness aims to break the stigma surrounding prostate cancer, particularly among men. “Because it deals with manhood, that is definitely a reason why men don’t talk about it,” he noted.
Partnering with Zero Prostate Cancer, Jordan is sharing his story through the upcoming documentary “Sustain,” set for release in 2026. He hopes to guide others facing similar diagnoses, stating, “I’m trying to give a template for people that get diagnosed with this to … know they have options available to them.”
Jordan emphasized the importance of action, saying, “It’s okay to cry. It’s okay to shake your fist at God. It’s okay to navigate and do what you need to do, but doing nothing is not an option.” He added, “I never knew there was such a thing as being a two-time cancer survivor, so that’s the journey that I’m on right now.”
