Mark Pilgrim announced that he was diagnosed with cancer in February 2022; since starting treatment, they are seeing some positive signs with his tumours.
Johannesburg, South Africa (20 May 2022) – South African radio presenter Mark Pilgrim shared his scary cancer news in February this year and promised to smile, even when he is afraid. This diagnosis came after 33 years of being in remission.
In Mark’s youth, he was diagnosed with stage 4 testicular cancer, which spread to his lungs and kidneys. He fought cancer off and had been in remission until his recent diagnosis of stage 4 lung cancer. The scans relieved that he had several tumours throughout his body, and so aggressive treatment was started to shrink them.
Mark swore to fight his cancer with all his might and has left many in awe of his continued positivity, even on his very worst days. He has promised to smile through all the days and recently shared an update that has us all smiling too!
“As I sit here, having round 4 of the “healing juice”, many have followed the journey, so I wanted to share some incredible news with you.
The scan results received this morning show a significant shrinkage of all the tumors in my lung, spine, leg and lymph nodes.
Since the diagnosis at end of Feb, I’ve been working SO hard everyday to bring my body back into balance, with the determination that I will still be around to walk my girls down the aisle one day. That, along with the collective thoughts and prayers of so many people, has contributed towards the news I received today.
The journey is far from over, and what lies ahead is still months of treatment, strict diet…and lots of will power.
I wish I could reply to every single message I’ve received since this started. Just know, I thank you. I appreciate being in your thoughts and prayers.
Today is a good day.”
The good news is a massive boost. While Mark confirms his fight is far from over, he is excited to share the news with all the people who have stepped forward to support him.
