Paul Cauthen recently took to Instagram to give fans an update on his health, revealing that a bout of pneumonia on tour led to the discovery of thyroid cancer. After experiencing a health scare on the road and a subsequent checkup, doctors eventually found a mass in the country singer’s right thyroid. “They told me that it is papillary carcinoma and that it’s cancer,” Cauthen said, while admitting that taking time off of the road to get healthy and take care of himself is likely what saved his life. “I have had a lot of time to reflect and realize that life is short and precious,” Cauthen shared, before thanking his fans for their “unwavering support” during his health struggle. The singer then assured fans that he plans to continue his music career after focusing on his health and recovery. (People)
