"For those of you that give a toss, here's the latest and greatest on my cancer situation. I'm currently in Boston and I did a scan on Tuesday morning. The scan shows that the cancer is in remission. "
"Great news, but I'm trying not to get too excited about it as I heard that same phrase late last year only to be disappointed again a few months after when it returned. The plan is to do a stem cell transplant as soon as the tour is finished. However, to keep me in remission my doctors have recommended that I do another, 3rd, round of the chemo (I.C.E.), so I'm back in hospital, all hooked up and doing my rock n' roll drugs. Keef would be most proud!"
