Roger O’Donnell of The Cure has revealed that he was diagnosed with blood cancer last year.The keyboardist shared the news today (September 1) to mark the first day of Blood Cancer Awareness Month.“In September last year I was diagnosed with a very rare and aggressive form of lymphoma,” he wrote on Twitter/X. “I had ignored the symptoms for a few months but finally went for a scan and after surgery the result of the biopsy was devastating.“I’ve now completed 11 months of treatment under some of the finest specialists in the world and with second opinions and advice from the teams that had developed the drugs I was being given.

I had the benefit of the latest sci fi immunotherapy and some drugs that were first used 100 years ago.”O’Donnell told fans he’s since recovered, writing: “Im fine and the prognosis is amazing, the mad axe murderer knocked on the door and we didnt answer.”“Cancer CAN be beaten but if you are diagnosed early enough you stand a way better chance, so all I have to say is go GET TESTED, if you have the faintest thought you may have symptoms go and get checked out.”He went on to say: “Lastly if you know someone who is ill or suffering talk to them, every single word helps, believe me I know.

I would also like to thank my Drs, rockstars everyone of them, all the nurses and technicians, my friends, family and my partner Mimi, sometimes its harder to be on the other side of this…..”Last year it was announced that O’Donnell would sit out of the band’s Latin American tour due to unspecified “health reasons”.
