JAMES MURPHY Discovers Possible Recurrence Of Brain Tumor, WORLD UNDER BLOOD Frontman Launches Campaign To Cover Medical Expenses
October 6, 2011, 13 years ago
Guitarist / producer JAMES MURPHY, who has worked with heavyweights DEATH, TESTAMENT and OBITUARY, has issued the following update via his Facebook page:
"Some troubling news for me in the last couple days. The bloodwork that was done recently revealed that the hormone indicator for the tumor I battled and defeated nine years ago is now 20 times higher than the low it reached as recently as one year ago. This could be indicative of a recurrence. Next step is an MRI, scheduled for the 11th of this month, to determine how much the tumor has grown. I am keeping a positive attitude about it and just moving forward."WORLD UNDER BLOOD's Deron Miller, who worked with Murphy on the band's debut album, has responded with an effort to raise money to help cover Murphy's medical expenses:
"James Murphy, legendary rock/metal guitarist (helped me with World Under Blood's Tactical CD) has just informed me that the brain tumor he was diagnosed with in 2001 had been improving and shrinking for the last several years... is returning rapidly. If my wife Felissa and I could get our Facebook friends to each PayPal at least $1, he will have an easier time covering the expenses that come with having no insurance and being a musician/producer. I'm asking you to contribute as much as you want, but the person that contributes the most will recieve something very special from my wife and I. I'm not trying to make a competition out of this, I just want my buddy well again. Please share this post and the PayPal address is felissarose123@aol.com. 100% of the money will go to his treatment and expenses. Thanks so much in advance!!!"Watch for updates on Murphy's condition in the coming weeks.
