Cape Town – South African radio personality Mark Pilgrim has taken to social media to share his latest health update with his followers after he went silent for a week.
Mark posted a picture in which he is lying on a bed with his eyes closed on Instagram on Thursday.
“A lot of sleeping the last few days. Body is depleted. After chemo and immuno last Thursday it’s just been pouring out both ends. I’m like a shriveled pea,” he captioned the photo.

Mark had last given an update on January 25, where he said he was in hospital for a drainage procedure.
“Really skinny at the moment. Having more fluid drained from abdomen so my tummy has a bit of space for food,” he wrote on Instagram.
“It’s a journey. It’s not easy. Baby steps. Still have the end goal in sight where myself, Adrienne and the girls are walking on the beach with our future golden retriever,” he wrote at the time.
