Christy Dignam has given an update on his health, as he continues to battle terminal cancer.

The 56-year-old Aslan singer has two rare forms of cancer, multiple myeloma and amyloidosis, and has revealed that he received bad news regarding his health this week.

“It was the worst news I could get, that this negative protein is growing inside my body.” Christy told The Irish Sun.

“All I can do now is more chemo but I’m not confident. Your blood develops and immunity to treatment so there’s no guarantee it’s going to work.”

Christy recently spoke exclusively to VIP magazine about how his outlook on life has changed since he was diagnosed with terminal cancer.

“I’ve always said that when my time comes, I’ll be ready, because I’ve had a really fortunate life.”

“I am very lucky. Others with my cancer have not been so lucky. But I’m sad that I won’t get to see the grandkids making their communion, and all those other important milestones in their lives.”

Our thoughts go out to Christy and his family.
