John Farnham’s recovery from cancer surgery is advancing great, his family says, after he was moved into a rehabilitation facility this week.
The singer, 73, was moved from serious consideration to the general ward of a Melbourne clinic “a long time back”, his significant other Jill Farnham said in a proclamation on Thursday morning, before he was then moved to the restoration office this week. “That in itself was terrific progress,” she said.
“Every one of these means implies things are moving in the correct bearing and for that we are massively appreciative.”
Farnham went through a 11½-hour surgery in Melbourne on August 23. The medical procedure included two cycles – the first being expulsion of the actual growth, the second being reconstructive medical procedure on Farnham’s jaw, some portion of which was extracted during the first operation.
“Our family is so extremely thankful to every one of the striking groups of Victorian clinical experts who have taken such great consideration of John,” Jill Farnham, and children Burglarize and James said today. “These results are a sound representative for their devotion, abilities and sympathy.
“His medical team are extremely satisfied with his advancement throughout the last month.”
Seven days after the underlying surgery, Jill Farnham said “the malignant growth … has been effectively eliminated. There is as yet a difficult experience of recuperation and mending in front of us, however we realize John is up for that task.”
Universally known as The Voice after his 1986 hit You’re The Voice, Farnham’s latest presentation was the bushfire benefit show in February 2020. He was joined in front of an audience that evening by Olivia Newton-John, who lost her long-running fight with cancer last month.
Farnham’s singing career started in 1964. He was named Australian of the Year in 1987 and got a Request for Australia in 1996.
He is the main Australian craftsman to have a graph besting record in five sequential many years, and was drafted into the ARIA Lobby of Popularity in 2003.
Since insight about Farnham’s condition was uncovered, messages of help have poured in from people of note, fans and member’s of the public.
A recognition page has been laid out “as a way for fans to compose and send messages of adoration and backing to John”, who isn’t via social media.
Coordinators of the weloveyoujohn.com.au page guaranteed the messages “will be saved and imparted to John and the family” to understand when everything looks good.
“We have gotten a large number of wonderful messages,” the family said in the present proclamation. “Being encircled by this much love and backing has meant everything to all of us. Thank you.”
