In a message posted on social media, Mark said doctors disclosed 2 him about the advanced stage of the disease a few months & that he is undergoing Immunotherapy, which helped the tumor to shrink...
"Just wanted everyone to know I was diagnosed with Stage 4 kidney cancer a few months ago. I wanted to wait to go public until I knew a little more about it," the Great White guitarist wrote on Facebook. "Just to give you an update, the tumor has shrunk from 13 centimeters to 8, so I'm going in the right direction with my first scan. There isn't a cure for cancer, but what I have is manageable."
"I have the best doctors in the world, and one of them invented Immunotherapy, which is the treatment I'm on. I only had to do 3 radiation treatments, which is a good thing!" he added. "To be clear, I don't need any financial help, but I'll take prayers & encouragement! I'm gonna fight this thing and be okay. People in my support group were diagnosed with my exact issue up to 20 years ago, so that is encouraging!"
Kendall, who is 68, also revealed that Great White is working on new music with vocalist Brett Carlisle...
Brett Carlisle (born 4/14/97) was the founder of All or Nothing...
