Alonzo Mourning is cancer free! The Hall-of-Famer underwent surgery after a diganosis of stage 3 prostate cancer in March 2024. He’s celebrating the renewed lease on life urging others to take charge of their health too. Someone who has been a pioneer in health advocacy is overjoyed for him. Earvin “Magic” Johnson, who turned his HIV diagnosis into an inspiring campaign to overcome health setbacks, is ecstatic for his dear friend. Pushing aside his finals predictions for the moment, he expressed his happiness for Mourning on X.
“Congratulations to my man and Hall of Famer Alonzo Mourning on a successful prostate surgery to officially become cancer-free!” Magic wrote on X with an apt bionic arm emoji.
Mourning shared the news via ESPN hoping other men would get checked and get timely treatment if the prostate cancer is detected early. “There are 3.3M men living in the U.S. with prostate cancer and many don’t even know it. I was one of those guys,” he told media.
Congratulations to my man and Hall of Famer Alonzo Mourning on a successful prostate surgery to officially become cancer-free! 🦾
