Joshua Ray Walker, a country singer, pledges to embrace life to its fullest as his cancer spreads to his lungs.

Joshua Ray Walker, a country singer, informed his fans that his colon cancer had spread to his lungs after his initial diagnosis in 2023.

On Sept. 10, Walker posted on Instagram to provide a health update and disclose that he has both positive and negative news to share.

I'm thrilled to announce that I have completed my chemo treatment! Although it was an incredibly challenging journey, I am grateful for your unwavering support. My body responded relatively well, and I am now focusing on restoring my strength and immune system.

"Upon completing tests to assess my cancer post-treatment, multiple nodes of varying sizes were discovered in both lungs," he stated.

Prior to beginning his chemo treatment, Walker was told he had a "90% chance" of obtaining clear test results.

Unfortunately, my cancer will likely be restaged to stage 4 as I was not prepared for completely new growth in a new organ. I will undergo a lung biopsy and begin radiation treatment soon.

He continued, "I will keep you updated as much as possible and continue to fight my hardest. Although the odds have changed, I won't publish them here. It seems defeatist and unnecessary. I'll share them with you after I've overcome them. I've always lived life to the fullest and will continue to do so."
