Andy Taylor<\/strong> has been battling a deadly form of cancer for years, but he’s done a complete 180 recently and now says he no longer has the disease.<\/p>\n The Duran Duran guitarist was interviewed Friday by The Times of London, revealing the amazing news that he’s showing no signs of stage 4 prostate cancer anymore.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Taylor gave all the credit for his miraculous recovery to scientist Christopher Evans<\/strong>, who used an innovative treatment to target his cancer cells with radioactive chemicals.<\/p>\n Taylor said, \u201cI was classified as palliative, end-of-life care. <\/em>Now I\u2019m not; I\u2019m asymptomatic.\u201d He also referred to Evans as a genius, calling him “the Elon Musk of cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n But, Taylor admits the process has been tough on him, saying he turns \u201cradioactive for several days\u201d and has gone through many psychological high and lows during his long journey.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Six weeks after he was first diagnosed in 2018, Taylor hit rock bottom emotionally, thinking he was going to die.<\/p>\n He said, “You\u2019re gonna have to say goodbye to your family. You\u2019re not going to see your grandson\u2019s 10th birthday. Psychologically it\u2019s mind-blowing \u2014 you can\u2019t have therapy to remove the certainty of death.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Taylor kept his disease private until Duran Duran was inducted in the 2022 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and lead singer Simon Le Bon<\/strong> read a letter from him explaining about his cancer fight during the band’s acceptance speech.<\/p>\n Taylor says he’s not out of the woods just yet … he still has to go through a few more rounds of cancer treatments, but things are certainly on the right track.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Good luck, Andy!!<\/p>\n
