In a Monday night post to social media, travel expert and guidebook author Rick Steves provided an update on his battle with prostate cancer.
Back in August, Rick revealed he would have surgery as part of his treatment and promised to keep fans updated. He has been advocating for open and honest conversations about cancer. In his statement to X , the 68-year-old author said, in part, that cancer "permeates all corners of our society, and it’s nothing to be ashamed of or to hide." Keep reading for the full statement from beloved Washington writer Rick Steves released on October 8.
Thankfully, my doctor has a good report: Surgery went well, there was no sign of any spread, and the cancer seems to have been embedded deep in my prostate, which is now at the lab. Before the surgery, I had two visions of my cancerous prostate: a small apple with an invisible rot at its core and an old dandelion with missing spores. My wish was the apple, and that’s what I got. But we won’t really know how "it went" until the lab reports are in.
