“Iron Maiden’s” Bruce Dickinson treated for Cancer
Cancer is such a horrible disease. I have no idea why it can’t be eradicated off the face of the earth…According to the news report Bruce has a tumor found on the back of his tongue… He just finished up 7 weeks of Chemo and is expected to make a full recovery. Here is the complete story from Iron Maiden’s Facebook page.
BRUCE DICKINSON UNDERGOES CANCER TREATMENT
Just before Christmas, Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson visited his doctor for a routine check-up. This led to tests and biopsies which revealed a small cancerous tumor at the back of his tongue. A seven week course of chemotherapy and radiology treatment was completed yesterday. As the tumor was caught in the early stages, the prognosis thankfully is extremely good. Bruce’s medical team fully expect him to make a complete recovery with the all clear envisaged by late May. It will then take a further few months for Bruce to get back to full fitness. In the meantime we would ask for your patience, understanding and respect for Bruce and his family’s privacy until we update everyone by the end of May. Bruce is doing very well considering the circumstances and the whole team are very positive.
