Doug Cockle announces he has cancer
This was communicated by Cockle in a message that you can see above these lines and citing a message from the official information account about the prostate cancer in uk.
“I had no idea (of what it was). On any test and boom… I have complete prostate cancer. The treatment is underway, but so far it’s going well. Men over 50…get a PSA test…just in case. More information at ProstateUK”.
Despite the message, Cockle has been positive about the situation ahead. And it is that, not in vain, although prostate cancer is one of the most widespread cancers among the male population, it is also one of those that has higher survival rate of 97% to five years. How could it be otherwise, fans of The Witcher and admirers of Cockle’s work have not been slow to flood their networks with messages of support and encouragement, Wishing you as soon as possible a recovery. The British actor has not responded on Twitter again, but he will surely be grateful for the support received.

A role that has taken him to the top
His portrayal of Geralt of Rivia, especially in The Witcher 3, which marked the Franchise Popularity Explosion from CD Projekt RED, has been recognized on many occasions. She was nominated for Best Performance at The Game Awards 2015, although she ultimately ended up taking the Viva Seifart award for Her Story. However, Cockle did manage to win the prize at the NAVGTR Awards or at the Golden Joystick Awards, plus another nomination at the BAFTA Games. From SomosXbox we wish him a speedy recovery and much encouragement to what is already a legend in the world of video games.
