While Live on the Air this Morning, Don Imus Announces He Has Stage II Prostate Cancer
Don
Imus, the "Imus In The Morning" talk show host, announced on air today
that he has stage II prostate cancer. Don Imus told the audience that
he was diagnosed with prostate cancer last Wednesday. He said he wasn't going to say anything but decided to because he may have to take a day or two off for treatment.
In one of the talkback columns, this decent comment is made:
For Don Imus has indeed done a lot of work with and for kids with cancer.
Not to take anything away from Don Imus and his cancer diagnosis but:
Imus, 68, made the announcement on his show Monday on WABC 770.
by the age of 68 many, if not a majority, of men have some form of prostate cancer. It's just that most cases don't really progress and we die of something else before it does. The prognosis is good though, as the cancer has not as yet spread beyond the prostate:
The broadcaster Don Imus said that he has prostate cancer, the Web site of New York’s WCBS television station reported. Mr. Imus, 68, made the remarks during the Monday morning broadcast of his syndicated “Imus in the Morning” radio program, which in New York is broadcast on WABC-AM radio; he said that he had stage II prostate cancer, giving no further details of his prognosis, but added that he was confident his doctors would beat it.

Don Imus was famously offensive a couple of years back as well:
