Brian May celebrates cancer all-clear with tea

Brian May celebrated with a cup of tea after being cleared of prostate cancer.

The Queen guitarist is relieved to have learned in a biopsy last Friday (01.10.14) that he has no cancerous cells after doctors came across ”some small possible problem areas” on his prostate.

In a blog post to his fans, Brian wrote: ”I got a great phone call from my specialist this evening.

”He said, ‘I have great news … we did not find any cancer cells.’ So finally, as far as that vital organ is concerned, I thank God – in the clear. It’s a great relief. I celebrated in the studio with a cup of tea.”

The 66-year-old musician revealed last month he had a series of ”urgent” tests to rule out the possibility of the disease, after complaining of back pain last month.

He previously stated: ”The scans showed up all kinds of mechanical disc and vertebra problems that might be the cause, but there were also some abnormalities in the bones – things that the report said needed urgent attention.

”So I’ve been having a series of blood tests, ultrasounds, and various kinds of scans, to see if they could rule out various kinds of cancer.”

Brian – who is married to actress Anita Dobson – admitted he feared the worst when the tests started because his father Harold died of cancer at the age of 66.

He said in an old blog post: ”On hearing the ”C” word something happens inside you … of course. I’ve seen so many of my dear friends fighting it … and my Dad lost his battle at age 66, exactly the age I am now. So over the last few days I’ve been in various states of unrest … The REALLY great thing is that so far the tests have eliminated a lot of nasty things. (sic)”
