Rhod Gilbert postpones shows to have further surgery following cancer treatment
Comedian Rhod Gilbert has postponed a number of live shows after discovering he requires surgery following his cancer treatment. In July, the Welsh stand-up announced he was being treated at the Velindre Cancer Centre in Cardiff and would be "disappearing for a while" to focus on treatment, as reported by Manchester Evening News.
On Tuesday the 54-year-old said he was suffering gallstones and recurring gallbladder infections that "kick like a donkey" and needed surgery early in the New Year. . He wrote on Facebook: "Thanks again for all your kind words and support. As you probably know I’m recovering well from my cancer treatment and can’t wait to get back to work next year. Happy days. Less happy days, I’ve been thrown another curveball in the form of gallstones and recurring gallbladder infections that kick like a donkey and need hospital treatment."I am having surgery to remove the offending gallbladder, and this is scheduled to happen early in the New Year.
Prior to his diagnosis, Gilbert had been a patron of the Velindre Cancer Centre, where he has now had surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The comedian previously said he "never imagined" he would be a patient there after supporting their work for years, but added he knows he is "in the best possible hands".
A regular guest on shows such as Would I Lie To You?, QI and Mock The Week, Gilbert also hosted the final series of Never Mind The Buzzcocks in 2015. Gilbert thanked "each and every one of you for your continuing patience" and added: "Rest assured, the show WILL go on."
