John Kincade offered his own Friday news dump this week. He took to Twitter to update his fans on his condition following surgery to address a colon cancer diagnosis.
He was all smiles as he revealed that doctors believe they removed all of the cancer from his colon. However, he did share the disappointing news that he has been diagnosed with stage 3 cancer and that it spread to his lymph nodes.
“Yeah, that sounds really bad,” he said, “but in reality, I think it’s a really good prognosis.”
He revealed that the cancer was only found in one lymph node of the 29 that were sampled. He will undergo chemotherapy.
There will be 12 treatments starting in mid-June. They will go on every other week into December.
“I feel very optimistic about it,” Kincade said. “It is going to be a very positive prognosis if I do everything that I’m supposed to do. It’s going to be a bit of a battle. I’m going to be able to continue to work, though there will be days where I’m going to need to step away from the microphone and just try to rest up and recover.”
While he is not ready to return to work quite yet, Kincade said the day is coming soon. He intends to return to the show on May 30, and added that anyone that told him they were saying a prayer for him should know it worked.
“I appreciate the support of everybody at 97.5 The Fanatic and the Beasley Broadcasting Family, and I appreciate every single one of you out there in the listening audience who has sent your well-wishes, sent your support. I love you for it. Everything is going to be great.”
