After 18 months of relentless, life-threatening illness and intensive combined treatment, beloved Belizean DJ Jiri Loskot, professionally known as Mistah Geeh, has shared uplifting news that he is now in full cancer remission, offering a message of hope to patients across the globe fighting similar battles.
Loskot’s health struggle began long before his correct diagnosis. In November 2024, he was officially diagnosed with multiple myeloma, an aggressive cancer that targets plasma cells in bone marrow. By the time doctors reached the correct diagnosis, months of improper medication from a misdiagnosis had already pushed his kidneys into complete stage four failure, leaving him with few treatment options from the start.
Within days of his confirmed diagnosis, Loskot began parallel courses of chemotherapy and dialysis to save both his life and his kidney function. He continued this grueling regimen for eight months, with multiple treatment sessions scheduled every single week. The physical and psychological weight of the illness pushed him to his breaking point more than once. “There were times where I felt like giving up,” Loskot shared in a recent public announcement. “I thought I would never be able to play music again. I wouldn’t be able to work. I wouldn’t be able to support my family.” At his lowest point, he could not stand unassisted for more than 10 minutes, leaving him to question if he would ever regain the active, creative life he loved.
Despite the overwhelming odds, Loskot pushed forward with his treatment plan. In January 2026, he underwent an autologous stem cell transplant, a high-intensity procedure that uses a patient’s own healthy stem cells to replace cancer-damaged bone marrow. The procedure has delivered transformative results: prior to the transplant, Loskot had 22,000 detectable cancer cells per million cells in his body. Post-transplant bone marrow biopsies show just 2 cancer cells per million, a count low enough that clinicians classify him as functionally cancer-free.
“The next step is full, complete remission… But, technically, I’m there,” Loskot confirmed. He will remain on a six-month maintenance treatment plan to sustain his remission, but he has already returned to performing as Mistah Geeh, back to the work that defines his career and brings joy to audiences across Belize.
In sharing his story, Loskot said he hopes to offer courage and perspective to others navigating the overwhelming challenge of a cancer diagnosis. “I want people to know that there is hope… If you prepare yourself mentally for the journey, you can pull through,” he said. “I am extremely lucky, considering what I’ve been through. God is good.”
