Rhod Gilbert told he had stage four cancer after 'lumps popped up where they shouldn't be'
Rhod Gilbert has shared an update on his health saying he is 'hopeful' about the future after he revealed he had been diagnosed with cancer earlier this year. In a recent interview, the comedian opened up about his stage four cancer diagnosis, telling the BBC that he realised something was wrong when lumps were 'popping up in places they shouldn't'.
His symptoms became even worse during a trip to Cuba in May, where he led a trek to raise funds for the Velindre Cancer Centre in Cardiff, the same centre he is now receiving treatment at, Wales Online reports. "I noticed lumps started popping up in places they shouldn't be," he said. "It turns out I've got stage four cancer."
Rhod, who has now undergone chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery for his cancer, said he also caught Covid during the trek, joking: "I came home with cancer and Covid from a Velindre fundraising trek... the irony of that! I went as a Velindre patron and came home as a patient." Rhod said that if it has been successful, he will only need check-ups. "If it hasn't worked as well as I've hoped, then maybe I'll have to go back for more treatment," he said.
