Andrew Lloyd Webber cured of cancer

London: Veteran composer Andrew Lloyd Webber has been given all-clear in his prostate cancer battle.

The legendary theatre composer is recovering quickly after finishing treatment and surgery to remove his prostate gland at a clinic in London, a news website reported. "It is the hugest relief. We have arrived - at the end of a long journey - at the best possible outcome. In my case, I will be 62 next year and I have five children. Most importantly, I am alive, my children have a father," Webber said. The composer, who was left infertile by the surgery, is urging fans to get regular check-ups because his cancer diagnosis might have been missed altogether if a dormant E Coli infection hadn`t been aggravating his prostate. "If that infection had been found and cured, I could have been blissfully unaware that I had a cancerous tumour that was on the verge of breaking loose around the rest of my body. I could have thought my frequent trips to the bathroom were due to a weak bladder. I have been lucky," Webber said. PTI
