Barry Manilow reflects on cancer treatment: ‘There’s part of me that isn’t here’

Manilow, who has since undergone treatment, expressed gratitude for not requiring chemotherapy, describing himself as "lucky". The unexpected diagnosis prompted a deep reflection on life's fragility for the veteran performer.
