The 73-year-old remains in intensive care following surgery to remove cancer from his mouth, but is responding well
in Melbourne last Tuesday. The surgery involved two processes – the first being the removal of the tumour itself, the second being reconstructive surgery on Farnham’s jaw, part of which was excised during the first operation.Following the procedure last Tuesday, Jill Farnham said “the cancerous tumour … has been successfully removed. There is still a long road of recovery and healing ahead of us, but we know John is up for that task.
Jill Farnham said her husband “remains in a stable condition in ICU following the removal of a cancerous tumour in his mouth on Tuesday. He is awake and responding well to the care he’s receiving.”Throughout this ordeal, the family’s statements have been brief and issued via statements. More details have come via figures close to them, such as Gaynor Wheatley, the widow of Farnham’s long-term manager Glenn Wheatley, who died from complications arising from COVID-19 in February, aged 74.
