After numerous inquiries about my absence on the radio over the last little while, I wanted to let you know what’s been going on.
.
In May, I was admitted to hospital after a sudden and unexpected cardiac event. I was diagnosed with cancer. A blood cancer of the plasma cells called multiple myeloma. An off-shoot of the cancer cells have dropped proteins called amyloid in my heart. 80% of my bone marrow was cancer when it was found.
.
After a lengthy stay in hospital, I have been taking time to heal and recover to a point I can come back and do what I love, hanging out with you every day on the radio.
.
I want to thank the incredible teams at Foothills Hospital, Cochrane Urgent Care and South Health Campus for saving my life and continuing to do so.
.
Also, to all friends and family and colleagues and listeners who checked in, you helped more than you’ll ever know.
Lately, I have been feeling more like myself again, and I am looking forward to returning to iHeartRadio and my show on BOUNCE sometime soon.
.
If I have learned anything thru this process, tell the people closest to you how much they matter, and never take anything for granted. Live to leave your mark and be a positive light in your journey.
