Wesley Willis Is Whooping Leukemia's Ass With A Belt
with this news from Alternative Tentacles:
"As you know, Wesley was diagnosed with leukemia at the end of last year. We are extremely happy to report that he has been very responsive to treatment and new "wonder" drugs which have pushed his cancer into remission. He is taking a brand new medication that doctor's
fast-tracked so that he could use it and so far so good. He has to go in
for tests frequently but like I said, so far, so good. There has been talk about him recording an album about his experience
with leukemia and his stay at the hospital. And he has written a new
song entitled "I ain't gonna eat that cookie any more."
His improved condition has enabled him to perform live again. To see the man's upcoming tourdates, click READ MORE.
