“God Is Good”: DJ Mistah Geeh’s Road to Remission 

Belizean DJ “Mistah Geeh” announced this week he is cancer-free after his months-long battle with cancer and kidney failure that forced him into dozens of combined treatment, including chemotherapy, dialysis and a stem cell transplant.

The entertainer, whose real name is Jiri Loskot, was diagnosed in November 2024 with multiple myeloma, a cancer that affects plasma cells in the bone marrow. By the time he was diagnosed, his kidneys were already in stage four failure, worsened by months of medication prescribed during a period of misdiagnosis.

I started chemo the same time I started dialysis to save my kidneys,” Laskot said. “I did chemo for about three months. And my kidneys started to function on their own again, which was great. I got taken off dialysis, and I continued doing chemo up until December of last year.”

He spent eight months undergoing chemotherapy and dialysis simultaneously, which meant multiple days of treatment every single week. “There were times where I felt like giving up,” he admitted. “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.”

“There was a time I couldn’t even stand up on my feet for more than 10 minutes,” he said.

And while the mental toll was just as heavy as the physical one, he decided to undergo an autologous stem cell transplant in January of this year.

“Just to be transparent, I had 22,000 cancer cells in my body out of a million because they base it out of a million. That was before I started my stem cell transplant. Now, after my stem cell transplant, I did a bone marrow biopsy, and now I have two cells out of a million. And technically, I’m in the negative because it’s almost close to zero,” Laskot added.

“The next step is full, complete remission… But, technically, I’m there,” he added.

He remains on a six-month maintenance plan. Today he is back performing as the DJ “Mistah Gee” everyone knows, and he hopes his story offers something to those going through a similar fight.

“I want people to know that there is hope… If you prepare yourself mentally for the journey, you can pull through… I am extremely lucky, considering what I’ve been through,” he added. “God is good.”
