Fox News Radio host Guy Benson has revealed he was recently diagnosed with cancer, and underwent a successful procedure to remove the issue.
Benson revealed that he had been diagnosed with an invasive malignant melanoma, which he said was caught “very early.”
In a post to social media, Benson shared the news, showcasing a segment from his nationally syndicated radio show revealing the news.
“I’ve recently had a brush with a word that no one ever wants to hear — cancer,” said Benson. “Thank God, I noticed something and we caught it very early. It’s now been physically excised from my body and the doctor says no further treatment is needed. It looks like I’m going to be okay, God willing.”
Benson added that he wasn’t sharing the news for the “woe is me” factor, but instead with a mission in mind of informing the public about the dangers of the disease and how to identify it.
“I wasn’t inclined to share this news publicly (especially because the internet can be an insane and unforgiving place), but ultimately decided that making the following plea is worth it: Please, please, please get skin checks. It’s a small inconvenience, but it truly could save your life.”
Guy Benson is the host of The Guy Benson Show, heard nationally on Fox News Radio from 3-6 PM ET. He is also a regular contributor to Fox News.
