RONNIE JAMES DIO's wife/manager Wendy Dio has issued the following update
regarding the health of the legendary HEAVEN & HELL/BLACK SABBATH/RAINBOW
singer:

"Ronnie has been diagnosed with the early stages of stomach cancer. We are
starting treatment immediately at the Mayo Clinic. After he kills this
dragon, Ronnie will be back on stage, where he belongs, doing what he loves
best, performing for his fans.

Thanks to all the friends and fans around the world that have sent well
wishes. This has really helped to keep his spirit up.

Long Live Rock and Roll, Long Live Ronnie James Dio"

I wish him well. Not a big fan but cancer sucks and killed my mom
almost 9 years ago. Fight the good fight Ronnie.

Ah, hell. Stomach cancer is the 2nd worst form of the disease, right behind
lung cancer. He may fight it for a while, but he's not going to win.

Yep, you're right. Pancreatic cancer has a "shelf life" of less than 6
months in most cases. Patrick Swayze was one of the few who was able
to fight it longer. Colon cancer is almost as bad, although you can
survive longer (albeit it's a painful was to die). Lung & stomach
cancer are treatable, but it takes a LOT out of you. When I say
treatable, I'm not saying there's a cure, but you can have the area(s)
that are cancerous removed (i.e. part or all of a lung/stomach).
Cancer doesn't play.
