Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine shared an update on his throat cancer diagnosis, saying his doctors “are feeling very positive” about his progress
. “I want to thank all of you for the support and well wishes these last few months. I can’t express enough gratitude as it has made this hard road easier knowing you are in my corner fighting with me!”
Mustaine reported that his physicians will evaluate his condition over the next few weeks and added that he’s looking forward to the band’s which will depart from Los Angeles on October 13th on a round-trip voyage to San Diego and Ensenada, Mexico. “Less than 30 days till we are Thrashing through the Pacific!” the singer and guitarist wrote.Megadeth canceled most of its live dates earlier this year following Mustaine’s diagnosis, though they kept the Megacruise on their calendar. “The band will be a part of it in some form,” Mustaine vowed at the time he learned he had throat cancer.
Mustaine announced his diagnosis via Instagram on June 17th. “I’ve been diagnosed with throat cancer,” he said. “It’s clearly something to be respected and faced head on — but I’ve faced obstacles before. I’m working closely with my doctors, and we’ve mapped out a treatment plan which they feel has a 90 percent success rate. Treatment has already begun.
Over the next few weeks my condition will be evaluated, and I will keep you posted on my progress as we get closer to the sailing date of the first Megacruise! We can’t wait to see you, and I know all of the other wonderful artists feel the same way. Let’s make this event one for the record books. Less than 30 days till we are Thrashing through the Pacific!
