The 61-year-old who went public about his diagnosis last year said that he’s hoping to hit the road again very soon.

People reported him saying, “I am feeling pretty good.”

In a conversation with The Oklahoman before the Toby Keith and Friends Gold Tournament, he said, “You never know cancer, so you have to prepare for it but now everything is in a real positive trend.”

The Should've Been a Cowboy crooner said he wants to muster up the energy for a full-length show, and expressed the desire to be touring again by the end of the year.

He told that he was trying to rehearse by bringing the band together just to see if he can get through two hours.

The Oklahoman reported him saying that his tumor has shrunk to the third as his blood tests are improving. 

Keith said, “I feel ‘better’ with each passing day.” 

However, the star is still going through chemotherapy for his stomach cancer.

He continued, “I just need to heal with a little bit of rest.”

He added that he wants to spend this time with his family, also expressing his excitement to see the fans sooner than later. 

“I can’t wait,” he said.
