HEALTHSinger Ann Wilson Says the 'Worst Is Over' After Finishing Cancer Treatment
Singer Ann Willson said the 'worst is over' after finishing her cancer treatment.
Ann Wilson, 74, the iconic "Barracuda" singer, shared a significant health update, revealing she’s completed her chemotherapy treatments and is on the road to recovery.
“The worst is over and I’m thankful for the efficacy of this poison — but it’s more than welcome to get the f--- out of my body now,” the rock icon shared with her fans on social media on Wednesday, September 25, humorously referencing her chemo treatments.
Ann Wilson gave an update about her health.
Wilson also reflected on how intense and tedious the treatment process has been.
“I know lots of you have been wondering how I’ve been doing. So I thought it’d be best if you heard this straight from me,” she said. “I’m doing absolutely fine now but it’s been, to put it mildly, a lot. Chemo is no joke. It takes a lot out of a person. And then there’s that two weeks of waiting around for test results, a form of mental torture.”
Ann Wilson said the results were 'good.'
Fortunately, Wilson received positive news after her long cancer battle. “Luckily for me, when the results finally came, they were the good kind!” she gushed.
Despite the challenging times she experienced, the member of the Heart band expressed her deep appreciation for the support she’s received.
“I’m immensely grateful,” she said. “My story has a happy ending in part to early detection.”
