Montell Jordan shared an update on his ongoing prostate cancer treatment, revealing he’s documenting the journey while staying positive.

Montell Jordan stood before a live audience with a powerful update on his ongoing health battle — confirming that he’s back in treatment for recurring prostate cancer while filming a documentary about his journey.

The 1990s R&B singer, who previously shared that his cancer had returned earlier this year, opened up about his current fight during a recent appearance captured in a viral clip.

“I had surgery in November, and then about a month ago, month and a half ago, they found some more cancer,” he told the audience in a clip that surfaced Tuesday, October 21. “So I am currently undergoing treatment to get healed and to get cured and to take the journey to be a two-time cancer survivor.”

The 1990s R&B staple, best known for his chart-topping anthem “This Is How We Do It,” shared that he’s documenting the ordeal in a project titled Sustain.

“I am documenting the entire journey as well, in a documentary called ‘Sustain’,” he said.

Despite being in the thick of treatment, Jordan didn’t let cancer stop him from showing up for his supporters.

“I have six more weeks of the treatment that I’m taking right now,” he said. “So I just did a whole week of treatment, and then got on a plane after treatment on Friday to come here to be with you today.”

Montell Jordan Stresses Importance Of Early Detection

Jordan’s health battle began in early 2024 after a routine PSA test flagged elevated levels. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer soon after and underwent a radical prostatectomy. By the end of that year, he announced he was cancer-free.

But last month, he revealed, during a nine-month follow-up in mid-2025, doctors discovered lingering cancer cells in the prostate bed and lymph nodes on his left side.

That recurrence led to a new treatment plan involving proton radiation five days a week for nearly two months, along with hormone therapy to suppress testosterone, which can fuel cancer growth.

He’s using his platform to stress the value of regular check-ups and early detection. “Early detection is the thing that allows me to have a choice to treat it and live and to continue giving myself the best quality of life possible,” Jordan said on NBC’s TODAY.
