Comedian Tommy Chong, who with Cheech Marin was one of the most successful comedy teams of the 1970s, said on Wednesday he is being treated for rectal cancer. Chong wrote on Twitter, “I have good news and bad news. First the bad news, the cancer came back and it is a real pain in the butt. The good news is I now have to use more marijuana to treat the cancer.” The 77-year-old Chong said he will let fans know how he is doing and will document his battle against the disease on the “Chong and Chong” podcast. Chong is now in his second battle with the disease. In 2012 he was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
