Hello friends,
As you know, I've been not in the best of health for the past two years. I've kept my illness secret from everyone. Two years ago, I was diagnosed with stage one prostate cancer. After the death of my mother and all the crisis I've been through, this hit me very hard, and I through myself into self isolation, depression and often thought of committing su***de. Which is why, I've sort of disappeared from the Comedy scene. Only doing shows here and there to keep my name out there, and battle this bitch alone. No one knew about this, not family, friends, fellow comedians, no one. Everyone has their own problems, crisis, whatever. Until you've dealt with this yourself, you probably won't understand my decision in keeping my battle secret. Making sure my health insurance was paid up first and foremost so that I can fight. Which is why I've been so broke, moving money around every month to make sure this happened. Yesterday, I received a call from my oncologist, I'm crying as I write this. I am now, 100% cancer free. and that's the best news I've ever heard. If you're angry with me for not discussing this with anyone. Please don't be. I needed to prove to myself, that I could beat this and not trouble anyone as a man. As a goddamn man and I did it. I love you all. Bruce Jingles ain't going nowhere. If you see me, hugs are welcomed Thank you for your time.
