For three weeks, I knew that this moment would arrive. Today I am forced to leave the antenna to get back in the ring and fight cancer a second time! 26 years later, history unfortunately stutters. There was a 1-5% chance of it happening and it did. It’s going to shake very hard but I’m ready and very well surrounded” he had thus declared just before leaving the antenna by force, to treat himself.
