REVERED British broadcaster Michael Parkinson is recovering well after completing treatment for prostate cancer. The popular chat show host, 78, was diagnosed with the disease during a regular check-up earlier this year. He started radiotherapy treatment at the beginning of July. He has now completed hospital sessions and is expected to make a full recovery. The news is all positive. It's early days as he has only just finished his treatment but the prognosis is good. Everything went to plan and now it is a case of rest and recuperation for a month or so," his son Mike Parkinson says. My dad's in good spirits and he is expected to make a full recovery. Parkinson, who has interviewed stars including boxing legend Muhammad Ali, Australian Nicole Kidman and Victoria Beckham, had vowed to continue working through his treatment at the time of his diagnosis.
