The Farnham family have provided a brief update on John Farnham’s recovery following successful surgery to remove his mouth cancer in August last year.
“We’re pleased to say that John made a full recovery from a recent chest infection in late March which required hospitalisation. He is now comfortable and continues to receive on going treatment and rehabilitation care.”
The family would like to re-iterate their appreciation and deepest respect for all the medical staff that have attended to John over the past 8 months and the many thousands of kind messages that been received from across Australia and the world.
No further comment is available at this time and the family has asked for their privacy.
The announcement comes after the famous singer underwent an eleven and a half hour surgery in August last year. The cancerous tumour was located in his mouth and was successfully removed.
At the time, Farnham’s sons Rob and James said at the time “we are in awe of the incredible teams of healthcare professionals who have guided us through this very challenging time with such compassion. All of you undertook this big job and have given us a magnificent outcome. To all the surgeons, doctors, nurses and consultants – thank you one and all so very much.”
As John does not have an official social media presence a dedicated website was established last year for fans to send messages of support to John and the family. You can do that here.
