Bushwick Bill, a founding member of the Houston hip-hop group Geto Boys<\/a>, revealed he is battling stage 4 pancreatic cancer. The rapper discussed his cancer fight in an interview with TMZ<\/a> where Bushwick Bill, born Richard Shaw, said doctors initially were monitoring what they believed was a benign mass.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018We see a mass on your pancreas and we can\u2019t understand it. It\u2019s not alcohol, it\u2019s not sugar, it\u2019s not diabetes,’\u201d the rapper recalled. \u201cThey went through all kinds of stuff. And finally, by February 8th, they said it was stage 4 [pancreatic] cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bushwick Bill added, \u201cPancreatic cancer is undetected until it\u2019s in the fourth or fifth stage.\u201d The rapper told TMZ that he currently undergoing chemotherapy, but it\u2019s too early to tell how his body is responding to the treatments.<\/p>\n

Prior to the interview, the rapper had only told his close friends and family about his cancer battle; he had not yet told his fellow Geto Boys Willie D and Scarface.<\/p>\n

\u201cI figure keeping it myself is not really helping nobody, and I\u2019m not really afraid of dying because if anyone knows anything about me from [his 1992 song] \u2018Ever So Clear<\/a>,\u2019 I died and came back already in June 1991, so I know what it\u2019s like on the other side,\u201d Bushwick Bill said, referring to the incident where he accidentally shot himself in the eye.<\/p>\n

Bushwick Bill told TMZ that he\u2019s currently working on three albums so he has something set up for his children after his death.<\/p>\n
