Cape Town – Various celebrities have taken to social media to send their regards, love, and well-wishes to South African radio personality, Mark Pilgrim after he posted about being back in hospital to have more fluid drained out of him.
After 33 years of his cancer being in remission, Mark was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer in March last year.
Since then, he has regularly updated his followers about his journey in hopes of inspiring them as he battles cancer.
In one of his most recent updates, Mark put on a brave smile as he revealed he was back in the hospital.
“Really skinny at the moment. Having more fluid drained from abdomen so my tummy has a bit of space for food. It’s a journey. It’s not easy. Baby steps,” he wrote on Twitter.
“Still have the end goal in sight where myself, Adrienne and the girls are walking on the beach with our future golden retriever.”
