Sick Of It All vocalist Lou Koller has announced that he has officially been declared cancer-free. Last June, Koller went public with his cancer diagnosis, revealing that a tumor had been found in his esophagus. Since then he underwent months of treatment for the condition, while fans and friends rallied behind him, crowdfunding over $334,000 USD to cover his treatments and the costs associated with them.
In a new video message shared this afternoon (May 20th), Koller gave the below health update, in which he announced the good news [transcribed by theprp.com]:
“Hey everybody, what’s up? I got some good news for everyone. I got my test results back — the scan results — I mean, and it turns out, it looks like there’s nothing left, no more cancer. So I’m officially cancer-free right now. Thank God for that. And thank you all for your positive vibes, your prayers, all your well wishes. Thank you so much for all your support. And I’m really happy about this, now I can get on to trying to get myself back to normal, cause of this chicken neck and all this stuff. And thank you, that’s all I can say. I’m really happy.
I still have to go for a new scan every six months for the next couple years to make sure it’s still out of me, but as of now I’m cancer free. Thank you everybody so much.”
