In a new interview with Chaoszine, former Hanoi Rocks guitarist, Nasty Suicide (real name Jan Stenfors), talks about his new band Stenfors (The Family Album available in June), and reveals that he's been battling prostate cancer.
"I can talk about it, it's no secret. And it actually had a role to play in recording the album as well. When we decided we're gonna do the album, everything was fine. But then, as soon as we started doing it, I got my diagnosis of prostate cancer. So, that was like, 'Oooh. What's gonna happen with the album then?' was first at mind. Well, anyway, it didn't affect that at all, except that, obviously, then when I went into chemo in the summer while we were doing the recording bit by bit, it did affect, obviously. It affects everything, it goes everywhere, and it's nasty stuff, but it's supposed to take care of the cancer, so I've always taken it as a thing... you're supposed to feel like something. But it kind of affected me a little bit while we were doing the recording, but I think it went pretty well. So, I'm through the chemo part now and I've been through it for a few months and feeling really good. Now we started the radiation phase, so until the end of March I'm going to radiation every day. So, bit by bit, they're giving the disease the dose that it needs."
