He is a multi instrument musician, sings and paints oil on canvas - even though all the predictions said he is not going to live long because of a brain tumor. A year ago (2019) Roee Lavan started a healing process - he went through a difficult treatments, lost his job, and lost his scent and taste. Today he is completely "clean" from metastases and art is his therapy. "It's just relaxing me, even though my body became weak and tired", he described.
