Ronnie Atkins of PRETTY MAIDS Diagnosed With Lung Cancer

124

Ronnie Atkins, vocalist of legendary Danish rockersย PRETTY MAIDS was diagnosed with lung cancer and issued the following statement:

Itโ€™s scary how your world can be turned upside down in a couple of weeks.

I went to my doctor for a routine check complaining about some back pains in mid-August. I then went through numerous scans, bronchoscopy, biopsies etc. and spent a lot of time waiting for answers in uncertainty. And so finally three weeks ago I found myself diagnosed with lung cancer.

Now this has by all means been a shock to me, my family and those close to me since it came totally unexpected without any typical symptoms and everything just happened and developed so fast lately.

Iโ€™m ALREADY in treatment and underwent surgery two weeks ago, then spend some 10 days in hospital with pneumonia as a consequence apparently linked to the surgery.

According to the medical staff my prospects are good CONSIDERING itโ€™s lung cancer. However, I will have to undertake further treatment the next couple of months to be on the safe side.

This means that I unfortunately will have to step back from most musical activities concerts etc. for an indefinite period of time.

Iโ€™m going into this with a positive mindset and with the continuing love and support from my family and friends Iโ€™m determined to battle this disease the best I can -God willing!

LOVE โค๏ธ
