Andy Williams fighting cancer
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 7 November 2011
Andy Williams has been diagnosed with cancer of the bladder and will begin a programme of chemotherapy. Concern for the 83 year old singer’s health had grown recently after he cancelled a series of gigs.
A source told the National Inquirer last week: “Andy got the diagnosis of invasive bladder cancer very recently. That means his cancer has invaded the lining of his bladder, but doctors weren’t sure yet whether it had spread to other parts of his body. If the chemo shrinks the tumours, doctors will surgically remove Andy’s bladder. Andy is in for the fight of his life”.
Meanwhile Williams himself confirmed his condition when appearing at a show on Saturday in Missouri, where he said: “I do have cancer of the bladder. But that is no longer a death sentence. People with cancer are getting through this thing. They’re kicking it, and they’re winning more and more every year. And I’m going to be one of them”.
