Janet Jackson Throat Cancer

Janet Jackson is reportedly undergoing treatment for possibly cancerous throat tumor. Her "Unbreakable" tour has been postponed due to throat surgery to remove a tumor.

Ms Jackson, 49 posted a message on her Instagram about the surgery, however the details of her condition have only been confirmed on Tuesday.

Physicians have detected growth on her vocal cords that could be serious. They are hoping that the tumor is not a cancer of the larynx, which can end her singing career.

Cancer of the larynx is aggravated by smoking and alcohol-drinking and the chances of recovery depends on factors like the size, location and grade of the tumor and the stage of the disease.

Praying for you Ms Janet, get well soon!

Hey you guys… Happy Holidays to each and every one of you. I need you to know, I learned today, from my doctors that I must have surgery soon. It breaks my heart to tell you that I am forced to postpone the Unbreakable Tour until the spring. Every date will be rescheduled. Please hold on to your tickets. They will be honored in a special way when the new schedule is announced. Please pray for me, my family and our entire company during this difficult time. There will be no further comment. I love you all so much and am ever grateful for your understanding and your love. Gon' b alright.
