Michael Jackson is with Skin Cancer

Michael Jackson is determined to make a full recovery after being diagnosed with treatable skin cancer last month.

Doctors reportedly discovered spots of the disease on the King of Pop’s upper body and precancerous cells on his face during a routine checkup.

“Michael’s tests showed spots of skin cancer on his body, and cells which could turn to skin cancer on his face,” a source tells Britain’s The Sun. “He was at first very concerned, but says he has been assured by the doctors that they can treat this and he will recover.”

Jackson has fought a series of skin conditions and was diagnosed with vitiligo over 20 years ago. The disease affects skin pigmentation and is allegedly responsible for the singer’s pale look.

Despite his health setback, the “Can’t Help It” hitmaker is excited about going ahead with his eagerly-anticipated 50 concert tour O2 Arena in London, kicking off this July.

“Michael is really looking forward to his concerts and is determined to wow his fans at each and every gig.” the source added.

“He said he’s insisted that any treatment must fit around the concerts, and the show will go on,”

Michael has been spotted making regular visits to a dermatologist in Beverly Hills. In April, he was seen at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, which has a specialist lab to test for skin cancer.

    Man thats heartbreaking! cuz I am a big fan of this legend.

    Thats the ultimate result of playing with your skin and going against nature :|

    That's terrible news, but its good to hear that he'll be able to make a full recovery. The guy has had some problems, but no one can deny he is one of the biggest pop stars ever. It's also great to hear that he'll be hitting the stage again. Hopefully he'll be getting some publicity for his performances now, instead of all the controversy.

    I was diagnosed with basil carcinoma (skin canser) myself last June. If this is the same type of Cancer Michael will be fine. Mine was on my face, right beside my nose. The surgery performed (called "Mos") was an in office procedure of cutting the cancer in quarters, then removong it little by little to keep scarring at a minimal. The worst of it is the shot to deaden the area, a little uncomfortable, but you can barely see it was ever there.
    Melanoma, a much more serious form of skin Cancer, a whole other ballgame!

    Michael Jackson is a gay and probably has more than just a skin disease.
    If he dies he's not going to be missed. My wife's half brother who had himself baptized by the Muslims carried the name Michael Jackson. He is a thief and the police are always hunting him for stealing. We don't let him into the house for fear that he will take something, usually a cell phone to sell on the black markets. The real Michael Jackson should be jailed for being a pedophile with children. Miron Lovric, 17/5/2009.

    Well, Miron, it's very hard to be a pedophile without children, or with anyone else. It's quite a shame about you wife's half brother, and your feelings about him. As for poor Michael, well it's just one more hurdle on the long road to perfection that he is trying to achieve. I just wish I knew what he was going for. Still, I hope he recovers because he is a legend and was a great singer and performer. Let's face it, we all loved Mikey back in the day at some point in our lives. Plus, cancer is just not something I would ever wish on anyone.
