The keyboardist of the rock band The Cure, Roger O’Donnell, has been undergoing cancer treatment for almost a year.

After this “devastating” diagnosis, he began eleven months of treatment, the musician explained. He took medication and underwent radiotherapy. “I’m doing well and the prognosis is amazing,” O’Donnell concluded.
The Brit also shared that he initially ignored his symptoms for a few months before going to the doctor. He urged his fans to get tested “if you have even the slightest suspicion that you might have symptoms.”
