Local media personality and HOT 1027 radio presenter Mark Pilgrim has received yet another blow to his health.
Pilgrim, who recently shared that his cancer had returned after 33 years and that he will be undergoing chemotherapy for stage four lung cancer, has now contracted Covid-19 for the second time.
Luckily for him, his symptoms are mild, but it does mean that Pilgrim has to take more pills than he is originally required to â 35 to be exact.
He took to his Instagram page to share the news: âIn the words of Eminem: âguess whoâs backâ⊠despite being extremely cautious, COVID found me again. đ. Fortunately symptoms are very mild and Iâm feeling fine.
âOn lots of meds (now itâs 35 tablets with breakfast đ„Ž). To quote more song lyrics; â I get knocked down, but I get up againâ đđđ»âš.â
Pilgram has been documenting his cancer recovery journey on his social media in hopes of spreading positivity and encouraging other cancer patients.
He posts both the highs and lows of being a cancer patient, in one post he said: âTime for a few morning pills đ€Ș. #JourneyToHealth #BodyInHarmonyâ
In another he wrote: âAs I lay in bed recovering (with some poochy love), Iâve had so many messages from people on the same journey. If youâre also feeling rotten from the âhealing juiceâ, hang in there.
âWeâre in it together. Itâs okay to have a bad day. Tomorrow is a new day. Tomorrow⊠we stand up again. đȘđ»đđ»âš#JourneyToHealth.â
Pilgramâs fans took to the comments section to send him love, blessings and healing.
âSending love and healing đ your way God's blessings đ over you đ,â said @lynettewickstrom.
