Rolling Stones guitarist, Ronnie Wood has
just revealed that he was diagnosed with
lung cancer earlier this year.
The 70-year-old in a new interview said,
‘there was a week when everything hung in
the balance and it could have been curtains,
time to say goodby. You never know what is
going to happen’.
Wood, who gave up smoking one year ago
when his twin daughters were born said
when he went to the doctor in May, he
asked for a more in-depth check up. The
doctor told Wood he had found cancer in
the guitarist’s lung.
After a week of tests, it was determined that
the cancer had not spread. “I made up my
mind that if it had spread I wasn’t going to
go through chemo, I wasn’t going to use
that bayonet in my body’.
Woods says he is better now, but will still
have a check-up every three months.”I was
bloody lucky, but then I’ve always had a very
strong guardian angel looking out for me”.
