Archbishop Chrysostomos returned to his duties on Wednesday morning, two weeks after undergoing surgery in a UK hospital, the Archbishopric announced.
The Archbishop revealed some two weeks ago that he had been diagnosed with liver cancer and had undergone chemotherapy last August.
Speaking to the Cyprus News Agency, while still in the UK, he said he regretted ignoring his doctor’s warnings for a year and half, before seeking treatment.
“I could have found out a lot earlier why the doctor who did my blood tests was telling me ‘I see something I do not like’. His advice fell on deaf ears for a year and a half. Maybe I would have prevented the cancer from spreading to the liver,” he said.
In a bid to raise awareness on the importance of early detection and treatment, the Archbishop said that even though many were afraid of the word ‘cancer’, it was a curable disease.
The Archbishop had undergone surgery in London two weeks ago to remove two small tumours from his liver. The three-hour laparoscopic operation was carried out at the London Clinic.
His attending doctors – professors Long Jiao and Paris Tekkis – appeared satisfied with the outcome of the operation.
