"I think in a month's time I'll be having another scan so that'll be around Christmas time.
"So yeah, my Christmas present is a photoshoot of another CT scan or MRI scan. I had one done [recently] on my brain as well because little problems appeared because of the chemo."
Paul then went on to to discuss his healthy mindset on not 'wasting life", telling the outlet: "Don't complain about this or that. Our hearts are beating let's do something with that time."
Fans will remember Dario G's iconic video for Sunchyme, which featured dancers in incredible safari costumes and makeup.
The group, also starring Scott Rosser and Stephen Spencer, later disbanded but Paul still uses the moniker as his stage name.
Released in 1997, the band's hit song Sunchyme was composed around a sample of the 80s Dream Academy hit Life In A Northern Town.
The following year, Dario G peaked at No.5 with their follow up single Carnaval de Paris.
The banger was made the official song of the 1998 Fifa World Cup, which was held in France.
