Nosuke to have surgery in May to remove tumor

Last fall, professional drummer Nosuke, the husband of pop star, misono announced that he had been having stomach pains.

After a concert on November 11th, he went to the hospital and had blood tests, urine test, CT scan and waited for the results.

Nosuke found out that a germ cell tumor was found due to testicular carcinoma under the stomach and it is 15 cm long (about six inches) and it was very large.

While Nosuke has had his first surgery and anti-cancer treatment and even has appeared in public with misono, the two revealed on a radio show for Shibuya Cross FM on the 28th that they removed Nosuke’s left testicle and he continues to receive anti-cancer drug treatment.

He has had four anti-cancer treatments and he will be having a surgery in May now that the tumor is small enough for removal.  He said jokingly, “I think this is a cesarean section”.

misono was asked about her work and she said while she was hoping for an earlier surgery, her focus is making sure Nosuke is healthy and can regain his strength for his major surgery.

She also added that he has show incredible resiliency since his last surgery.
