Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Bruce Springsteen shares update on wife Patti Scialfa's cancer treatment
Caption: Bruce Springsteen shares update on wife Patti Scialfa's cancer treatment. The Hungry Heart rocker spoke about the rare blood cancer diagnosis in a new TV special, originally geared to promote his upcoming documentary, Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. ”She's doing good, we caught it early, which was important. It's a tough disease, it's very fatiguing.” Patti, 71, was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a form of blood cancer, in 2018. In the new documentary, she spoke about how the disease has impacted her life. ”This affects my immune system, so I have to be careful what I choose to do and where I choose to go. Every once in a while, I come to a show or two and I can sing a few songs on stage, and that's been a treat. That's the new normal for me right now, and I'm OK with that.” She also said while she couldn't manage her former touring schedules, returning to the stage had been a personal triumph. ”Touring has become a challenge for me. I've been performing with this band for 40 years. With those first performances, it felt so good to be back onstage.” Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
