In an exclusive interview, John Tesh shared the harrowing details of his 2015 stage III prostate cancer diagnosis. Doctors informed him that his tumors might be inoperable and gave him a grim prognosis of only 18 months to live. Undeterred, Tesh sought expert opinions and eventually found a surgeon capable of performing a radical prostatectomy.
However, the cancer returned in 2017, spreading to his lymph nodes. It was then that his wife, Connie Sellecca, recalled two friends who could help. She reached out to them, leading Tesh to MD Anderson, a center specializing in over a thousand cases like his, offering a more experienced approach.
Currently, Tesh is under the care of MD Anderson, monitoring his disease. He expressed immense gratitude, feeling he owes his life to their comprehensive treatment. Tesh also noted the resurgence of his iconic song 'Roundball Rock,' finding parallels between his own journey and the song's 'rising from the ashes' narrative.
