Gay Byrne has opened up about his battle with cancer, admitting doctor’s are happy with his progress.
The 82-year-old was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2016 and previously said he had been too sick to miss his broadcasting career.
The former Late Late Show presenter has now revealed that he’s coping well, and looks better too.
“Everybody is telling me how well I look but I wish I felt as good, look, I guess that’s part the condition I’m suffering from,” he told The Irish Sun.
“You turn from good humoured to bad humoured but that’s just the way it is. I am coping at the moment and what happens, happens.
“I have checks all the time and the doctors tell me I’m making progress. I believe them. I have to believe them because I’m looking better.
“There were Mass cards, prayers and letters. This massive surge of sympathy which was wonderful.
“But it has dwindled off now, probably a good thing, because I simply hadn’t the strength to answer all of the lovely letters,” he added.
We send our continued support and well wishes to Gay.
