Surfer Blood guitarist Thomas Fekete has revealed to fans that he is battling a rare form of cancer. He said he had undergone a major surgery to remove a large tumor from his abdomen a few months back.
"I was diagnosed with a very rare and aggressive cancer (a sarcoma), which unfortunately has moved. A few days ago, my doctors informed me that it had spread to my lungs and my spine," Fekete wrote in a crowdfunding campaign on GoFundMe.

Fekete will begin undergoing chemotherapy this week to fight a lesion on his lower spine. However, because of the rare nature of Fekete's cancer, he's forced to seek an alternative treatment plan.
"I'm no longer able to tour and make a living, and my wonderful wife/best friend whom I just married in November will now be leaving work to help me throughout my treatment. If you can't help, no worries whatsoever, all I ask is that you spread the word. Any extra funds collected when this is all said and done will be donated to further my doctor's alternative cancer research," he adds
