‘The Cure’ Keyboardist Roger O‘Donnell Reveals ’Rare and Aggressive’ Lymphoma Diagnosis

The Cure keyboardist Roger O’Donnell is opening up about his cancer diagnosis, bringing dialogue to the disease as September marks blood cancer awareness month.
The British musician said he’s already completed 11 months of treatment, including radiotherapy and immunotherapy, “under some of the finest specialists in the world.”
Over the last year, O’Donnell went on to receive second opinions and advice from a team of medical professionals who developed drugs that he’s taking in combination with his other treatments.
“Cancer CAN be beaten but if you are diagnosed early enough you stand a way better chance, so all I have to say is go GET TESTED, if you have the faintest thought you may have symptoms go and get checked out,” he urged.
O’Donnell, who joined the rock band back in 1987, reassured fans he is feeling good and that his prognosis is “amazing” thus far.
He went on to express his gratitude for the love and support he has received from family, friends, and doctors who are helping him throughout all the hardships.
“Lastly if you know someone who is ill or suffering talk to them, every single word helps, believe me I know. I would also like to thank my Drs, rockstars, everyone of them, all the nurses and technicians, my friends, family and my partner Mimi, sometimes it’s harder to be on the other side of this.”
