Country singer John Berry revealed he has tonsil cancer on Tuesday and will undergo a five-week treatment, a report said.

A CT scan revealed two tumors in his tonsils. A biopsy revealed he has tonsil cancer, the magazine reported.

“I am 10 days post operation today and feeling much better,” Berry said on Monday in a note he sent to family and friends, according to Billboard. “I still have some soreness when I swallow, and in my jaw, but a few Ibuprofen and I am good to go. Saw my surgeon today for a follow-up appointment and my throat is healing well.”
Robin Berry, his wife, appealed to fans to give her husband support.
