Al Roker took to Instagram on November 13th saying he had a successful surgery:
“Relieved to let you all know that my #prostatecancer surgery is done and back home. A big shoutout to everyone at the #josierobertsonsurgerycenter and so appreciate all the thoughts and wishes from our viewers and the wonderful care packages from my co-workers. Hope to see you all soon.”

Al Roker was diagnosed on Sept. 29th shortly after getting a physical. His doctor noticed he had a high prostate-specific antigen (PSA) after getting the results of his blood tests. Roker went on to get an MRI and a biopsy before he was officially diagnosed.
Since then, his mission has been to educate other men about getting tested.
