Mykee Mexx Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 We have some news to report regarding our brother Jason White, and wanted you to hear it from us before word spread. Jason recently underwent a routine tonsillectomy, and his doctors discovered a treatable form of tonsil cancer. Thankfully they caught it early and he should make a full and speedy recovery. Please join us in sending him love and positive healing vibes during this time. Green Day on gd fb page Doesn´t sound too bad. Best wishes for Jason - "brother" (love that terminology ).

I've wondered if Yahoo is personalizing to my interests without me knowing but I think this is just straight up the news, they link to the RS article: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iva Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 "very treatable" doesn't mean an easy road. Back in May I was told my testicular cancer was "very treatable". Since May, I've lived through some unspeakable horrors. Don't want to whine and/or complain, so on a more positive note, my thoughts and prayers go out to Britney and Jason. Everybody's story is different, but I can at least relate to having cancer. Britney and I did our chemo around the same time period and I always enjoyed seeing posts/pictures of her doing well. Are you feeling better now? Also, it's OK to whine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Dude Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Are you feeling better now? Also, it's OK to whine. I have had multiple surgeries (one testicle removed, port placement, etc.) 3 months of chemo, a major operation and now I'm doing six more weeks of chemo, which should get me all good and cured. I lost a kidney during the big surgery and my remaining kidney is acting up...But yes. I am better now than I was back in May. And they thought the big surgery (Retroperitenial Lymph Node Dissection) would kill me, but here I am. Just have to make it through the next six weeks of chemotherapy. Last time I did chemo it really got me down. Couldn't walk, talk, see, hear. My throat closed up and I couldn't eat or drink. I basically either laid on a couch or hospital bed for 3 months. I am determined to not get that way this time around. and..........just to sort of get back on topic, any more info on Jason? Last I read he basically just had to get his tonsils out. Hope that is true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero_Of_The_Hour Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Any updates about Jason? Somebody tweeted Jeff about this recently and he replied: LazyBones @IL0stMySh0e Jan 18 @jeffmatika how are Jason White??? Can you tell us? Jeff Matika@jeffmatika “It's a personal matter. When he's ready to talk about it I'm sure he will" Jason is a private person so like Jeff said I imagine he won't actually be updating us until he is 100% if at all. He will likely just re-appear onstage again with one of his bands. I'm sure his family know know they have the fans love without needing to post things online...they've always stayed away from that anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
