Nightwish singer Floor Jansen has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
The Dutch singer, who is the lead singer of the Finnish metal band, released a statement on Twitter on Wednesday (26 October).
Jansen wrote that she was undergoing surgery on Thursday (27 October) to remove the tumour doctors had found two weeks ago when she received her diagnosis, adding that her “prognosis is very good”.
“Life comes in waves, with ups and downs,” she wrote. “I have had the joy of riding many highs… but now a new wave hit me. Not a good one. I have breast cancer.”
“It seems to be a non-aggressive cancer, which seems to not have spread. I will keep my breast. And I will be cancer free after this surgery, plus a local radiation treatment that will take place three months after this surgery, hopefully. We will know more after the surgery to see if this positive prognosis stands.
