[pic=Brittney and Mike]051614_mikeandbritt.jpg[/pic]Mike Dirnt took to GreenDay.com this afternoon to share with fans that his wife Brittney has been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Dear Green Day Family,

Recently my wife Brittney was diagnosed with breast cancer.

We have started our battle and she is enduring treatment as we speak! We want you to know that Brittney (Batmansmom) is strong and with the help of Amazing doctors, support from family, and positive thoughts/prayers from our Green Day family, SHE WILL BEAT THIS!

This is going to be a challenging year, but we are determined to get though this as quickly and openly as possible.

We love you all, and we will be checking in as best as we can, via Instagram: batmansmom mike_dosxx and www.GreenDay.com.

Rage and Love
Mike and Britt

From all of us here at GDA, we send our prayers and positive thoughts to Mike and Brittney during this time.
