Former UFO bassist Pete Way says that he is halfway through his radiotherapy treatment for the prostate cancer with which he was diagnosed last year. " feel so low and tired," he writes on his Facebook page. Way's treatment reportedly involves undergoing radiotherapy sessions every day for a month to shrink the tumor, in conjunction with hormone therapy.As a result of his cancer diagnosis, Way's new album, "Walking On The Edge", will not be released until later in the year. The CD is being mixed by producer/engineer Mike Clink, who has previously worked with GUNS N' ROSES and METALLICA.The news of Way's cancer battle was broken in November by Classic Rock magazine. Way told the publication that he diagnosed last summer during a routine check on his liver, which has been damaged over the years through hepatitis. The abdominal scan picked up the tumor on his prostate."I was lucky," Way said. "They were checking my liver, not my prostate. They found it by accident. I didn't think I had any symptoms, but when I spoke to the doctors, and they were asking me all those questions, I did have the symptoms. I just didn't know what they were."Speaking to Classic Rock, Way said: "This is prostate cancer. It's not lung cancer. It's not pancreatic cancer. If you're going to get cancer, this is the best one you can have and they caught it early."
