'My radiation oncologist described it like this: “this is not a fatal blow and not the end of your story, just the beginning of a new chapter".'
Chad concluded his post by thanking his family and friends for their support, writing: 'My recovery has been bumpy at times but I’m feeling much better now and getting stronger by the day.
'Thankful to everyone who’s checked in on me and helped my family during this lengthy and challenging journey. Can’t use my phone much yet and have a lot of messages to catch up on.
'More stories to come when my brain is working well again. Love you all and am looking forward to sharing more music and fun with you as we come out of this.'
Chad was first diagnosed with cancer in 2021 after his wife Lisa Cimorelli found him unconscious in bed.
After being rushed to hospital, doctors discovered Chad had a large adrenal gland tumour that had spread to his liver.
He underwent surgery to remove the growth, along with half of his liver and gallbladder and was declared cancer-free the following month.
However, in August 2022, the rare cancer returned to his spine, forcing the musician to undergo a gruelling six-hour operation.
The following year, medics discovered nodules in his lungs and he received chemotherapy.
Following Chad's latest help update, fans have flooded him with supportive messages, as one wrote: 'We love you Chad! Keep fighting. The world is a brighter place with your riffs and positivity';
'I’ve been praying and will continue. You are so resilient!'; 'Sending positive vibrations of electric energy from my brain to yours, son';
'Thinking of you always, Chad. Wishing you nothing but love and strength. We love you'; 'All the love and strength to you Chad. You’re a force and an inspiration'.
Chad was previously married to Paramore's Hayley Williams, with the pair first getting together in 2008 before saying 'I do' in 2016.

However, their marriage was short-lived, with the former couple separating the following year and finalising their divorce several months later.
Hayley previously shared how she battled depression following their divorce and sought inpatient treatment.
'I had to get therapy. I was having a lot of bad dreams,' she said.
Hayley went on: 'My most memorable recurring dreams from childhood are all water related. I started to have a lot of those again. It resulted in me having panic attacks, and I ended up in a hospital.'
