Rising Country Star Offers Update Surrounding His Lung Cancer Biopsy

Although wanting to leave his mark on country music, Joshua Ray Walker shared the heartbreaking news with fans that he suffered from Colon Cancer. Not letting the disease control his life, the singer not only battled cancer but continued to share his love for music. And after undergoing surgery and chemotherapy, the doctors claimed that Walker’s fight was successful. But when going in for a routine scan, the singer learned the cancer spread to his lungs. Now labeled stage 4, Walker recently offered another update after undergoing yet another surgery.

Not wanting to keep fans in the dark, Walker decided to post a video on his Instagram page from inside the hospital. He said, “Hey, y’all, I’m out of surgery. I’m up out of bed, sitting in a chair for the first time. They poked five holes in my ribs, deflated my lung, sewed it back together, reinflated it, and they are going to be taking a drainage tube out of it later today. I’m going to be coming home a day early because I’m healing up so fast.”
