th<\/sup> round of chemo\u201d on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\u201cRound 40 infusions since February,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI\u2019ve honestly lost track.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added that he was \u201cgiven less than a week, that I wouldn\u2019t see Mach, let alone 2026, but now I won\u2019t settle for nothin short of 2066.\u201d<\/p>\n
He went on to thank everyone \u201cfor standing in my corner even though all our time is hard nowadays.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI have seen the woods lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep,\u201d he wrote. \u201cKeep on goin, it get better.\u201d<\/p>\n
Myers announced his cancer diagnosis back in February. <\/p>\n
\u201cAs many of you all know I have been laid low by a rare cancer called a sarcoma,\u201d he wrote on Instagram. \u201cWhat I thought was a prolonged lung infection turned out to be much more sinister, with growth around my heart and pulmonary artery.<\/p>\n
\u201cDoctors of varying humanity have given me days, or weeks to live, but I live by my odds and not theirs,\u201d he added. \u201cI am currently looking for the next opportunities to overcome this cool deck of cards I\u2019ve been dealt. I\u2019ve been taken off most my IV\u2019s and gotten off a lot of the drugs they had me on.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m feeling better than I have since I entered this facility and am hoping to continue my next step into recovery and my future as a survivor,\u201d he added. \u201cI am taking things day by day and conserving and building the energy I need to overcome this affliction. I refuse to speak from the past past tense, because there is beauty and life in the struggle I am currently fighting, and I will overcome this. My next quest is to access\/gain contact with as many cancer facilities to access more proper care for what I need to succeed over this cancer. I do not know how long this fight will take, but I know so long as my heart beats I will overcome this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Myers said he got a second opinion form Memorial Sloan Kettering which provided better news.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause my tumors appear to be responding to the chemo, they want me to keep the course as it is with OSU,\u201d he said. \u201cBut they said that as trials present themselves, & as the tumors shrink, isolated therapies & more options, are already in their pipeline, & part of the plan they are mapping out for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Myers is a country and blues musician of Korean-American descent from Northern Kentucky. He released his debut record, \u201cYellow Peril,\u201d in 2023.<\/p>\n
