<\/p>\nA nineties pop music legend has shared a health update following his stage four rectal cancer diagnosis.<\/p>\n
Dario G,\u00a0whose real name Paul Spencer, announced the news on X, formerly known as Twitter in June, and vowed to stay ‘positive’.<\/p>\n
And since his diagnosis, Paul has spent his days living his life to the fullest while receiving chemotherapy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Speaking to The Mirror, he said: ‘I’m doing really, really well. The chemo and the medication arrested and stopped the pain and then I think the chemo starts to take an effect.<\/p>\n
‘I think in a month’s time I’ll be having another scan so that’ll be around time. So yeah, my Christmas\u00a0present is a photoshoot of another CT scan or MRI scan. I had one done [recently] on my brain as well because little problems appeared because of the chemo.<\/p>\n

A nineties pop music legend has shared a health update following his stage four rectal cancer diagnosis<\/p>\n
‘I even faced in the last week, my sense of taste has changed. There’s always another thing and another thing.’<\/p>\n
Rectal cancer is a disease in which cancerous cells form in the tissues of the rectum, and signs can include blood in stools, irregular bowel habits, unexplained weight loss, or a change in appetite.<\/p>\n
Stage four cancer is where the cancer has spread from where it started to another organ in the body and is often called secondary cancer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When caught early enough, rectal cancer is relatively treatable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite his treatment and battle with the cancer, the musician revealed that he started playing football and running to help him focus on the good things.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Paul also shared that he finds ageing is a ‘privilege’ as he discussed he tries not to waste life.<\/p>\n
He added: ‘Don’t complain about this or that. Our hearts are beating let’s do something with that time.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
When he first shared the sad news, Dario wrote: ‘Hard to write this.\u00a0I’ve just found out that I’ve got stage 4 rectal cancer and a shadow on my liver. That’s damn hard to read too I’m sure.<\/p>\n
