While getting his start in the music industry with the rock duo group Sons of Fathers, Paul Cauthen eventually took the stage as a solo artist. Already releasing several albums with the group, he released his solo album My Gospel back in 2016. His latest release happened back in 2022 with Country Coming Down. Continuing to expand his career in the genre, the singer stunned fans when he canceled his tour. He later revealed he suffered from thyroid cancer. Focusing on his health and cancer battle, Cauthen shared his unique approach to his health and how the disease saved his life.

Sitting down on the Ten Year Town Podcast, Cauthen spent a great deal of time discussing his career in music and some of his hit songs like “Cocaine Country Dancing.” But when asked how he was doing personally, the singer insisted, “Whopping cancer’s ass. It’s going great. I’ve been taking a bunch of supplements. Taking Ivermectin, fenbendazole, methylene blue, all these things that not a lot of people talk about. Instead of doing the general way of having your whole endocrine system ripped out of your throat.”
With Cauthen deciding to take a different route when battling the cancer, he admitted that some people turned away from him. “A lot of people shunned me for it. I’ve gotten a lot of flack. I stopped working with people because of the situation. It’s been weird. When you actually want to make a call for your own body, people want to make calls for your body for you.”
Why Paul Cauthen Took The “Tougher Road” When Fighting Cancer
Although Cauthen admitted he took a “tougher road” with his cancer treatment, the country singer listed the worries he had. “I could have been unstable in my calcium. And I could feel like I have a weighted blanket on me every day, and be fatigued. Maybe my sex drive goes down. There are so many things that can happen when you pull this organ out of your body that it takes you years to get stable.”
Thankfully, Cauthen’s approach to cancer appeared to be working as he explained he had lost over 20 pounds. He also made a rather interesting statement, declaring, “Caner really saved my life.” While that might sound absurd to some, the singer continued, “Cancer really saved my life because I stopped a lot of my bad habits. I wasn’t eating double cheeseburgers at 4 a.m. on the bus. I haven’t had bread in a long time.”
Already feeling better and looking to get back to making music, Cauthen believed, “In the end, in the long game, me getting healthy, taking this path of health and wellness, eating clean, it’s going to save me.”
