Beastie Boys member Adam Yauch has sent out an online message updating fans about his recovery from surgery to remove a cancerous tumour in his salivary gland.
The message reads as follows:
hey all,
so i just got back from dharamsala, india. went over there to see some
tibetan doctors, but as it worked out, the Dalai Lama was giving a 3
day teaching, so i was able to attend that as well.
i’m feeling healthy, strong and hopeful that i’ve beaten this thing,
but of course time will tell. i’m taking tibetan medicine and at the
recommendation of the tibetan doctors i’ve been eating a vegan/organic
diet, which surprisingly enough was harder to do in india than it is
now that i’m back home. here i can just shop for the right food and
cook… a lot easier than depending on restaurants.
when i was in india i visited an ani gompa (a nunnery) called jamyang
choling. they did a puja (religious ceremony) for me to help me get
well. one nun said to me "we do prayers and then you are better." so
i’ve got that going for me, which is nice.
