The Cure Keyboardist Roger O’Donnell Diagnosed With ‘Aggressive’ Lymphoma


The Cure’s keyboardist, Roger O’Donnell, revealed he was diagnosed with a ‘rare and aggressive’ form of lymphoma

O’Donnell, who joined the British rock band in 1987, detailed that results from a surgical biopsy were “devastating.” He added that he completed 11 months of treatment “under some of the finest specialists in the world and with second opinions and advice from the teams that had developed the drugs I was being given.” Cancer CAN be beaten but if you are diagnosed early enough you stand a way better chance,” he wrote before thanking his medical team, friends and family and urging fans to get tested if they experience any symptoms. According to the Mayo Clinic, symptoms differ depending on the type of lymphoma developing within the body, however painless and swollen lymph nodes in the belly, neck, armpits or groin are not irregular.
