Radio personality Mark Pilgrim has shared his health update with concerned fans after going MIA for some time after his last update. Sharing another selfie lying in the hospital bed, the radio DJ shared with fans that he has been doing a lot of sleeping these past few days.
Mark had been admitted to the hospital for his chemotherapy and has been receiving truck loads of support from industry mates, supporters and his friends.
“A lot of sleeping the last few days. The body is depleted. After chemo and immuno last Thursday it’s just been pouring out both ends. I’m like a shriveled pea.”
Mark is a seasoned radio presenter, who once revealed that he was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer after he was previously diagnosed with stage 3 testicular cancer in 1988.
He spent about two months in the hospital and got discharged. When he got discharged, he got engaged with his fiancé Adrienne Walker. He returned to hospital to have his fluids drained. But he has a good fighting spirit and hopes to get out of hospital so he can marry Walker.
He has been receiving so much support from tweeps since his last post:
Hi Mark. How can we support you? Please let us know what you and your family need so we can come together as a community and help in ways that you need. (You are welcome to DM me) Sending you love, prayers and support

"Diseases such as blood cancer affect not only the patient but the family in its entirety. The financial, mental health, and access to medical care for diagnosed patients is the reason why I partnered with DKMS Africa, to ensure that patients and families receive holistic support in their needs and also to urge South Africans to come forward and donate to save a life,” says Musida.
“If there is any opportunity for Black, Coloured, Indian, and Asian patients to receive treatment and reach transplant then we have to act as South Africans,”
