Vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and founding member of Heart, Ann Wilson, is doing much better following her recent bout of chemotherapy. If you or someone you know hasn’t gone through chemo, you might not know it but chemotherapy, while lifesaving, is an absolutely brutal treatment to go through. In a new social media post (that was transcribed by Blabbermouth), Wilson laid out exactly how difficult chemotherapy is for those unfamiliar with the process.
"Hello, everybody. Ann Wilson here,” her update begins. “Now I know lots of you have been wondering how I've been doing, so I thought it'd be best if you heard this straight from me.”
"I'm doing absolutely fine now, but it's been, to put it mildly, a lot,” Wilson emphasized. “Chemo is no joke. It takes a lot out of a person. And then there's that two weeks of waiting around for test results, a form of mental torture. For anyone who's been through that, I empathize big time. Luckily for me, when the results finally came, they were the good kind, and so I'm excited to share with you that I'm now finished with chemo and I'm officially ready to get ready for the tour in 2025. There's maintenance going forward, but I'm told the side effects are much less severe. The worst is over and I'm thankful for the efficacy of this poison, but it's more than welcome to get the fuck out of my body now.”
"I'm immensely grateful to everyone who prayed and sent me those good vibes,” she said, before imparting some sound advice to her fans: “I've so felt your love. My story has a happy ending, due in part to early detection. My advice? Get checked regularly.”
"I love you all, and I'll see you very, very soon. There's much to celebrate,” she said in closing. It’s great to hear that Wilson’s story has a happy ending.
