Chad Gilbert, the singer and guitarist for popular punk rock band New Found Glory, has resumed treatment for cancer.
The 44-year-old recently shared the news with a post on Instagram.
“From rock to radiation — it’s scary, it sucks, and I wish it weren’t a part of my life,” he wrote. “But truthfully, through the hardships come new outlooks, gratitude, positivity, and a freeing new way to see life. I’m thankful that I’m still in the fight and look forward to putting this enemy to rest for good.
“I encourage everyone going through emotional struggles to find joy in the simple things and the fun moments you might not have experienced without your struggle,” he continued. “We learn from it all. Give yourself a break. Thank you for all the support and love you send my way. Most people aren’t lucky enough to have fans who reach out with kind messages. I might not reply to them all, but I don’t take any of them for granted. I hope your day is awesome!”
Gilbert said he was resuming the treatment after doctors found “a small spot in my back,” according to People Magazine. The outlet said that he has had ongoing treatment for a rare adrenal gland cancer called metastatic pheochromocytoma that spread to his spine and lungs.
As serious as it all sounds, Gilbert said he is working the treatments around his band’s shows.
“I save all energy for the sets and the day after it’s truthfully hard to walk,” he said. “After a day or so I’m back ready.”
