Comedian Rhod Gilbert has said he is "hopeful" about the future in his latest health update after being diagnosed with stage four cancer earlier this year. Speaking to the BBC recently, the comic recalled when he first noticed was wrong when he had lumps 'popping up in places they shouldn't'.
In the interview with BBC Radio Wales on Friday (Dec 9), he said: "I had a terribly sore throat, tightness through my neck." The 54 year old also had to cancel several of his live shows back in spring. "I was having to cancel shows because I couldn't breathe, I was having all sorts of problems and we couldn't get to the bottom of it."
In May his symptoms worsened while abroad in Cuba as he led a trek to raise funds for the Velindre Cancer Centre in Cardiff - the same health centre he is now being treated, as reported by Wales Online.
