Cape Town – Seasoned broadcaster, Mark Pilgrim, has once again taken to social media to give his fans an update on his health, saying he is trying to keep “as much muscle” as possible while receiving cancer treatment.
“10kg lighter and body fat is extremely low (abs look awesome), but pushing through the lethargy and weakness with a bit of training, keeping as much muscle as I can (vital for the immune system),” he captioned a post on his Instagram timeline.

Mark announced in February that he had been diagnosed with stage four lung cancer.
Channel24 reported at the time that he was diagnosed with stage 3 testicular cancer in 1988 which he survived. The report also said that in 2008 he suffered a severe heart attack which caused permanent heart damage.
The radio presenter recently shared on his Instagram timeline that he had received eight rounds of chemotherapy and was preparing for the next stage of his treatment – radiation.
He also hoped to be back on radio soon.
“Hello from round 8 in the chair. Hoping to be back on radio tomorrow!,” he wrote.
