FROM HEATHEN: :
Please keep our friend Tom Hunting from
Exodus
in your thoughts as he starts treatment for cancer today. Not only is he an incredible drummer but he’s an amazing person as well. We love him like a brother. He’s strong and he will fight hard beat this thing. Fuck cancer!Important statement from our man Tom Hunting:
Today I will be starting treatment for a squamous cell carcinoma. It's a gastric tumor that was diagnosed in my upper stomach in February. I'm making this public to raise awareness for people to pay attention to symptoms of stomach and esophageal issues. If they persist, please go get it checked out. I'm not gonna be sheepish talking about it. I feel that if I can help someone with what I've learned, or someone out there has information to share with me, it's a win win! When you can name the enemy, it's empowering, and you're 1 step closer to killing it!
Ok, you've heard the bad news. The good news is he feels great physically! I'm gonna beat this like a fucking snare drum that owes me money!!! I've have great doctors and a great support system that is an army in itself. I'm ready for the fight!
We have a lot to celebrate this year with the release of what will be a career defining album and tours to follow! I'm stoked for everyone to hear it, and even more excited to get out there and play some of it! I will see you all very soon! CHEERS!!!
