Leeway’s Eddie Sutton is Entering Hospice Care
Leeway vocalist Eddie Sutton has entered hospice care, but despite his Stage 3 Adenocarcinoma cancer diagnosis, he is still fighting back.
The hardcore icon was initially diagnosed with cancer in 2021 and transitioned to a hospice center in Long Island, NY at the end of last month following his participation in a clinical trial.

Sutton shares on social media:
“I’ve now been in hospice care for about 6 days and I’m still trying to prove the professionals wrong and try to keep hope alive.
“The problem is my appetite….as much as I want to eat and crave so many foods I just can’t seem to swallow it or the smell becomes nauseating, to me.
“It’s quite a torture….try to imagine wanting to eat but your taste buds make it taste different or there’s something in the food that makes you feel sick.
“I have to rely on the same things; Ensure nutritional drinks and fruit cups to supplement whatever I can stomach and even that is minimal because my stomach muscle is so infantly small.
I’m still fighting folks I’m not stopping.
The initial message he shared on GoFundMe when he first announced his diagnoses reads:
“I spent a full week in the hospital getting all tests necessary and the doctors feel this can be treated. They at first found a malignant mass on the top part of my right lung which is the culprit that caused me pain for over 2 weeks before I walked into an ER…I didn’t have any healthcare at the time I’m now trying to acquire state healthcare (Medicaid) because this is going to be expensive even with healthcare
“I need the help of my friends and family more than ever and I hope each of you know how much this means to me. I have a lot to look forward in life still and I don’t want to leave this world in such a condition
“My love and respect to you all and thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support”
our hearts go out to Sutton and his family right now, and we hope that despite the hospice admission, he is able to keep fighting the good fight.
