Bruce Dickinson in cancer battle

 
Maiden’s Dickinson in cancer battle
 
Doctors predict full recovery as Bruce completes 7-week treatment programme for tongue tumour                                 
 
Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson is battling cancer, the band have confirmed.
 
He’s just completed a seven-week course of treatment after a tumour was discovered on his tongue.
 
The 56-year-old is expected to make a full recovery, and he’ll be concentrating on his health until the middle of the year. 
 
Maiden say in a statement: “Just before Christmas, Bruce visited his doctor for a routine check-up. This led to tests and biopsies, which revealed a small cancerous tumour at the back of his tongue. A course of chemotherapy and radiology was completed yesterday.
 
“As the tumour was caught in the early stages, the prognosis is extremely good. Bruce’s medical team expect him to make a complete recovery, with the all-clear expected by late May. It will take a further few months for Bruce to get back to full fitness.” 
 
The band have asked for fans’ “patience, understanding and respect” and say more information will be provided in May. 
 
They add: “Bruce is doing very well considering the circumstances and the whole team are very positive.”

    The interesting part is that Bruce went to see his Dr. for a routine check-up.........most of us guys just don't like seeing Dr.'s for anything.
     
    Glad to hear he's on a road to recovery.

    Not to beat an old cliche to death, but why is cancer the only disease that is routinely battled? And what is this battle anyway? It is not like people routinely submit to being conquered by strep throat, syphilis or endocarditis. Do they not battle those diseases by undergoing treatment? And why do people who die from cancer always lose their battle? Watching someone fight for every breath while suffering from emphysema looks a lot more like a battle than a trip to the oncologist, but although people die from other diseases in great numbers, apparently they are never defeated in battle. Sometimes they succumb to, but more often they just die of other diseases. I for one would find it refreshing if the news about some poor sod with the big C were that he is suffering from cancer, or receiving treatment for cancer or dying of cancer.

    Was the tumor in the shape of a cowbell?  Oops, wrong Bruce Dickinson.  My bad.
