Former Jordan Grand Prix owner Eddie Jordan has revealed he has undergone chemotherapy following his diagnosis of prostate and bladder cancer, Afrosport reports.
Jordan confirmed on the Formula for Success podcast in December that he was battling with an aggressive form of cancer, which had spread to his pelvis and spine.
The Irishman is now receiving chemotherapy and is spending the winter period in South Africa.
He gave the latest update on his health on the Formula for Success podcast, stating: “I am in the middle of a chemo cycle at the moment. It happened to be on today when we’re doing this recording in good shape.
“I must say, look guys and girls, don’t be afraid. Go and get tested. I will just leave it at that. I don’t want to be a gramophone record going round and round. The reality is that there’s a great chance of survival. There’s an unbelievable opportunity of good medical care everywhere in the world now.
“Chemotherapy, they seem to have their act together. Cape Town has been brilliant. I’ve had four chemo so far.
“Another plan to – so you never know if it hasn’t completely gone. Might have to go for another one or two. You wouldn’t want your very best friend to have chemo because it’s not very desirable, but at the same time the outlook and future is great. God bless those guys in the medical field.”
Eddie Jordan ran the eponymous F1 team from 1991 to 2005, claiming four race wins, two pole positions, two fastest laps and 19 podium finishes.
