In a statement obtained by TMZ ... Foster backs his ex, saying, "it is so frustrating to see headlines questioning her chronic debilitating illness." Foster's addressing several reports that have suggested Yolanda might not actually be as sick as she claims.

Foster gives Yolanda even more props ... saying he's proud of Yolanda's fight and how brave and open she's been in finding a cure for the disease.

HOW THEY FOUND THE CANCER ...

Rikki Rockett is fighting oral cancer, and says it was caused by HPV ... the same way Michael Douglas got it.

Poison's drummer was on the Sirius XM show "Eddie Trunk Live" when he revealed his diagnosis, saying it all started over the summer when he had a cold and a sore throat. He says doctors at USC eventually did a biopsy and discovered a tumor at the base of his tongue.

Been a rough year for Rikki -- as we first reported, he filed to divorce his wife Melanie in July.

Published | Updated

Yolanda Foster thinks she'll bounce back now that she's split from estranged husband David Foster.

Yolanda's been battling a severe case of Lyme disease, and sources say she's convinced it got worse when things got rocky with David. Lyme disease attacks the nervous system and stress is the enemy.

Our source says Yolanda constantly leaned on David during their marriage, but toward the end he was traveling a lot and she couldn't handle the change and got really sick as a result.

Now that they've pulled the plug on their marriage, she has no expectation that he'll be around, and that's actually dramatically improved her health.

Yolanda's still struggling with Lyme disease, but she's mobile again and feels she's on the mend.
