WARBEAST – Bruce Corbitt Diagnosed With Esophageal Cancer

***UPDATE: Bruce Corbitt today shared this post:

“For those that couldn’t watch video. I’ll make this short for now and give more details later.
I was just told I more than likely have stage 3 Esophagus cancer. Still a chance for stage 2. I get into more details on what that means and our plan of attack soon. But after much discussion with the doctors and specialist. ..they’ve told me there’s no chance within in any reasonable time that I’ll ever be able to perform again.

So it breaks my heart at this time that I’m forced to announce my retirement from singing. I’m sorry to all of my band mates for letting them down. I’m devastated with all of this hitting me so fast. I’m still in shock. Thanks for all of the great support all these years. You’re the best fans and I love all of you! We at least have a great Warbeast album and music video coming soon.”

Bruce Corbitt of WARBEAST and RIGOR MORTIS has reportedly been hospitalized for a week, dealing with issues stemming from what’s since been diagnosed as an esophageal tumor. Thus far, Corbitt has yet to learn if the tumor is malignant, however, he posted these latest updates:

Corbitt shared this grim update yesterday:

“Worst news possible. I have an esophageal tumor. In most cases, esophageal cancer is a treatable disease, but it is rarely curable. The overall 5-year survival rate in patients amenable to definitive treatment ranges from 5% to 30%. The occasional patient with very early disease has a better chance of survival. They’re about to test if already cancerous. I’m going to be here for a long time. Devastated! I’m doomed and my time is short. Love y’all!”

Within an hour of that post, Corbitt shared this:

“There’s a chance it has actually spread. The lymph node next to the tumor has increased in size, so a chance it’s spread there. Also my blood count went down from 11.8 to 10.5 in 3 hours last night. So that’s bad. They’re about to do next blood test to see how much it’s dropped over night. Also waiting on the all important biopsy results today. Will keep fighting and update y’all as I find out. Once again I love all of you like family!”
