Ronnie Wood health: 'I'm going through a lot of problems' - Musician on cancer battles
RONNIE WOOD, a member of the Rolling Stones, Faces and the Jeff Beck Group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame way back in 1989, then again for the second time in 2012, proving his undeniable talent as a rock musician.

Keeping details about his health private at the time, Wood, 74, spoke exclusively to The Sun in April last year about his secret battle with a rare and aggressive small-cell cancer. This follows a previous battle back in 2017 when the bass guitarist (Greg: Woody can play bass but usu. plays guitar. https://ultimateclassicrock.com/bill-wyman-ronnie-wood-bass-playing/ ) was diagnosed with lung cancer. “I’ve had cancer two different ways now,” Wood confessed in 2021, reflecting on both of his health ordeals.
Cancer: The sign when you wake up in the morning - 'troubling symptom'
“I had lung cancer in 2017 and I had small-cell more recently that I fought in the last lockdown,” the star continued to explain.
Notoriously having had a turbulent heath history, due to his involvement with drugs and alcohol, Wood has had eight stints in rehab, where he learnt the concept of a “higher power”. (Greg: The inside of his nose is plastic due to too much cocaine.)
A core belief of both Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous, Wood has used his belief in a higher power to motivate him to get through his second brush with cancer.
The musician added: “I’m going through a lot of problems now, but throughout my recovery, you have to let it go. And when you hand the outcome over to your higher power, that is a magic thing.

“That brings you back to the (AA and NA’s) Serenity Prayer, ‘Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.' That’s incredible. What will be will be, it’s nothing to do with me.
“All I can do is stay positive in my attitude, be strong and fight it, and the rest is up to my higher power.”
When first diagnosed with lung cancer, Wood blamed the 50-year habit of chain smoking “25 to 30 cigarettes a day”. A consequence of the rock and roll lifestyle he led, Wood needed a five-hour operation to have part of his lung removed.
At the time he dedicated “time to say goodbye” to loved ones, admitting that the disease “could have been curtains” for him.
Despite everything hanging in the balance, the star confirmed that he had been handed a “get-out-of-jail-free-card,” revealing in 2018 that the surgery had been a success and he was officially cancer-free.
And it seems that the star’s luck had not yet run out, as after battling small-cell cancer, Wood confirmed that again he had “come through with the all-clear”.
Small-cell cancer commonly arises in the lung but can affect areas such as the prostate, pancreas, bladder or lymph nodes.
It is so-called as the cancerous cells appear as a different size and shape under a microscope.

Macmillan Cancer Support explains that lung cancer is the third most common cancer in the UK, with around 47,000 people diagnosed with it each year.
Specifically, small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) makes up around 15 percent of all lung cancers, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) making up the rest.
The website continues to explain that smoking tobacco is the cause of most lung cancers, and puts you at the greatest risk of developing the condition. However, those who do not smoke can still develop lung cancer.
Medical News Today explains the key differences and similarities between small cell and non-small cell lung cancer, including symptoms and outlook.
