PRETTY MAIDS singer Ronnie Atkins has been diagnosed with lung cancer.

The Danish musician broke the news of his diagnosis earlier today via the band's Facebook page.

He wrote in an open letter to the PRETTY MAIDS fans: "It's scary how your world can be turned upside down in a couple of weeks.

"I went to my doctor for a routine check complaining about some back pains in mid-August. I then went through numerous scans, bronchoscopy, biopsies etc. and spent a lot of time waiting for answers in uncertainty. And so finally three weeks ago I found myself diagnosed with lung cancer.

"Now this has by all means been a shock to me, my family and those close to me since it came totally unexpected without any typical symptoms and everything just happened and developed so fast lately.

"I'm already in treatment and underwent surgery two weeks ago, then spend some 10 days in hospital with pneumonia as a consequence apparently linked to the surgery.

"According to the medical staff my prospects are good considering it's lung cancer. However, I will have to undertake further treatment the next couple of months to be on the safe side. This means that I unfortunately will have to step back from most musical activities concerts etc. for an indefinite period of time.

"I'm going into this with a positive mindset and with the continuing love and support from my family and friends I'm determined to battle this disease the best I can -God willing!"

According to PRETTY MAIDS, all of the band's previously announced shows have been canceled and all of the group's "plans are on hold." The band says: "ALL focus is now on Ronnie's health and undergoing treatment."

Some good news !

A couple of days ago I had the fantastic message that there are no more signs of cancer to be seen/tracked based on the scans that I had taken recently.
That’s the best news I have had in a long time, thank god ray:
As for everyone who’s encountered cancer, I’m fully aware that it doesn’t necessarily mean that I’m “homesafe” and the next 5 years are so to speak crucial, but nevertheless it’s a big step in the right direction and a great relief for me and my family.

To avoid or lower the chances of reoccurrences the doctors have reccomended me to undergo immunotherapy for the next year, which I’ve naturally agreed to and allready started up.

Now it’s time to recuperate, regain some strength and knock myself back into shape, witch I’m eager to do.
There will/might be some
sequelae that I have to deal with, but so be it. That’s life

With the risk of being accused of repeating myself I once again wanna express my sincere thanx to all of you out there ( my army of beautiful souls) who’s been supporting me through out this with sweet greetings, messages, advice and prayers.
It’s been heart warming and I’m forever grateful

C'est malheureusement un des cancers les plus mortels... Mon grand-père aussi en est mort. Après on peut tenir quelques années mais bon.
