Stephen Fry says he is happy “still to be here” to celebrate another birthday.
Earlier this year, the former QI host publicly announced, in a plea for “men of a certain age” to get themselves tested, that he had undergone surgery for prostate cancer.
On Friday, he wrote on Twitter: “Thank you all for your very kind birthday wishes. Happy still to be here to attain another prime number – 61.”
He added that “all is well”.
The TV presenter had his prostate removed in January after being diagnosed in December and later said in a video message on Twitter that “it all seemed to go pretty well”.
