While answering questions from fans, Anthony “Abaddon” Bray (ex-Venom) offered a new health update amid his battle with lymphoma. The drummer says “the treatments and whatever [he’s] gone through have all been pretty well successful so far.”

Bray said the following:

“The treatments and whatever I’ve gone through have all been pretty well successful so far. I’ve got a final scan — well, I hope it’s a final scan — coming up soon, and we’ll find out if we have to take it any further or if that’s it.

The type of cancer it is, it’s likely to come back because it’s blood related. But I know what I’m facing now. So bollocks to it, basically.

There are a lot of people in a lot worse positions, so I’m doing all right. I’ve gotta get back to where I build the strength back with a bit of exercising. But I’m very happy with it. I couldn’t have better support and help from everybody, to be fair, as well as, obviously, the doctors and nurses and whatnot, but everybody who’s been online and sent me messages and this sort of thing. It couldn’t be better.”
