On August 13, Crowbar drummer Tommy Buckley had surgery to remove part of his prostate due to cancer, and the surgery went well. Now, Buckley has been deemed cancer free, and that rules way hard!
According to the Crowbar Facebook page, which posted the above photo along with this message:
TOMMY BUCKLEY IS CANCER FREE!!!!As many of you know, on August 13th Tommy had his prostate removed due to cancer..It was in a small part of his prostate but doctor suggested the total removal to prevent the spreading of cancerous cells.
TODAY!! October 9th!!! Tommy got his blood test results and he has a clean bill!! NO CANCER!! PSA level=0
This is the best news ever!! We are so happy for Tommy and Lisa.
They have BOTH had the MOST positive attitudes through all of this. Tommy has been playing his drums like there's no tomorrow and Lisa has been right there by his side!! All they can do is look totally forward now and get on with their lives…and a happy one it will be
Please guys go and get a prostate exam and get your PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels checked!
Early detection is very important!!
Hell yeah! Just on Tommy's part that's absolutely amazing and we here at Metal Injection wish him the best health and all the luck in the world with the (now remission-ed) illness! Plus, now Tommy can get into writing some killer drum parts for Crowbar's 2014 record.
