So far, so good. I need time to breathe, recover and relax,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m feeling pretty good. \u2026 I\u2019m about another eight weeks from my last scan. So, I expect next time I look for that tumor to be even less \u2014 and I\u2019ve only got one that\u2019s shown up,\u201d Toby told The Oklahoman<\/em> in a June 2023 interview ahead of his Toby Keith & Friends Golf Classic in Norman, Oklahoma.<\/p>\n \u201cBasically, everything is in a real positive trend. You never know with cancer, so you have to prepare. But my goal is, I feel better. I\u2019ve got more wind. And I\u2019m thinking about bringing the band in and setting up, playing two or three days somewhere just to see if I can get through two hours. And if I do, (I\u2019ll) be out on the road this fall,\u201d the \u201cI Love This Bar\u201d singer added. Sadly, he was never able to tour again.<\/p>\nHow Did Toby Keith Die?<\/h2>\n
