And So, I Went To The Hospital To Get Checked Out After Becoming Ill A Few Weeks Ago. The “Kryptonite” Singer Claims That At That Point, He “Received The Diagnosis That I Had Clear Cell Renal Carcinoma That Had Spread Into My Lung.” Additionally, That Is Stage 4, Which Is Not Very Excellent.

According To The National Cancer Institute, The Term “Clear Cell Renal Carcinoma” Refers To The Way The Cancer Cells Look Under A Microscope. About 80% Of Adult Cases Of Kidney Cancer Are Caused By It. Surgery, Immunotherapy, And Other Targeted Treatments Including Radiation Are All Part Of The Treatment. When Detected Early, Clear Cell Renal Carcinoma Has A 5-Year Survival Rate Of Up To 69%; However, The NCI Notes That If The Cancer Has Progressed To Other Areas, “Treatment Is More Difficult And The 5-Year Survival Rate Is About 10%.”
However, As Arnold Revealed, He Is Depending On His Faith To Endure His Treatment. We Worship A Powerful God Who Is Capable Of Conquering All Obstacles. So I’m Not Afraid. Although We Are Unhappy About Having To Postpone Our Tour This Summer, I Truly, Truly Am Not Afraid Of It At All.
In Reference To The Band’s 2008 Billboard Top 20 Hit, “This Could Be The End Of Me / And Everything I Know / But It’s Not My Time, I’m Not Going,” He Concluded By Asking Fans To “Lift Me Up In Prayer Every Chance You Get And Like, It’s Time For Me To Go Listen To ‘Not My Time’ A Little Bit, Right?”
“Thank You Very Much, Everyone. You Are Loved By God. His Message Was Filled With Good Wishes From Fellow Musicians, Including Scott Stapp, Who Wrote, “If Anyone Has The FAITH And STRENGTH To Face This Fight, It’s YOU Brother.” He Concluded, “We Love You.”
