Adam Yauch - more commonly known as MCA - of the Beastie Boys recently provided an update on his recuperation from surgery to remove a cancerous tumor. Here is what he had to say:
So I just got back from Dharamsala, India. Went over there to see some tibetan doctors, but as it worked out, the Dalai Lama was giving a 3 day teaching, so I was able to attend that as well. I'm feeling healthy, strong and hopeful that i've beaten this thing, but of course time will tell. I'm taking tibetan medicine and at the recommendation of the tibetan doctors i've been eating a vegan/organic diet, which surprisingly enough was harder to do in India than it is now that i'm back home. Here i can just shop for the right food and cook... a lot easier than depending on restaurants. When I was in India I visited an ani gompa (a nunnery) called jamyang choling. They did a puja (religious ceremony) for me to help me get well. One nun said to me "we do prayers and then you are better." So i've got that going for me, which is nice.
