"Just fear, nobody wants to die. When I first got diagnosed, I remember praying I was like, 'Please, just give me 10 more years'. "And that 10 years are up now and you're kind of saying, 'I know I only asked for 10 but you couldn't throw another 10 in there could you, yeah?'"https://twitter.com/RTERadio1/status/1647898204719947777 However, the Aslan frontman also said that his cancer diagnosis has helped him see what is important in life and that spending time with his family has been his main priority. He told Tubridy:
“I’m happy and I get very sad and I get very scared. You know the thing about this diagnosis, anybody with cancer actually, that’s why I used to love listening to Vicki Phelan because when you do get into a particular emotion, you get into it. You know what I mean? You don’t do it by halves, do you know what I mean? Because everything is so serious. Do you know what I mean? There’s no, there’s no time for bullshit.”The 'Crazy World' singer also described palliative care as feeling like "a conveyor belt to heaven” but that he is grateful to be able to spend the time at home.
