Russell Means diagnosed with cancer

Russell Means who took over the role of Billy Twofeathers from Tom Jackson in the Thomas and the Magic Railroad film has been diagnosed with esophageal cancer.

The actor, singer and activist was revealed to have had the condition days before the official news in early September this year via SantaFeNewMexican.com.

In a statement on his website Russel Means Freedom, Means talks to his fans over his awaring illness and of his loyal and caring fanbase.

I never expected within my lifetime, I would experience such a world wide out pour of pure love. Believe me it goes a long way toward defeating this cancer.

I found out that I was literally days away from the tumor in my throat closing my windpipe and forcing me to have a tracheotomy which would have begun my spiral down to death.

The worst part would have been my deteriorating quality of life until I expired. It is nothing short of miraculous that we found the only two cancer treatments that can actually defeat this filthy disease.

However, Means noted some good news to shed light to; The tumor in my throat has diminished significantly. I have my voice back and my ability to swallow is back up to around 90 percent.
