Veteran broadcaster Bob Harris, 80, has shared encouraging news about his cancer treatment, saying it is "getting back under control." Harris was first diagnosed with prostate cancer 19 years ago, and in a recent video update, he expressed being "thrilled" to share the positive developments. He spoke with his oncologist, who confirmed that his treatment would continue and that his condition is improving. While there were earlier concerns, Harris now feels there is a clearer path forward in his health journey.
Harris thanked friends and fans for their support, with messages from fellow BBC Radio DJ Trevor Nelson and others expressing joy for him. His recent update comes after he decided to step down from hosting his Radio 2 shows in June, following news that his cancer had spread to his spine. This marked the end of nearly 60 years in broadcasting, a career that made him a beloved figure in British radio.
Earlier this month, Harris began an intensive course of intravenous therapy aimed at "keeping things at bay" after the cancer "took more of a hold." He said he still felt well but acknowledged the emotional challenges of his treatment. Harris encouraged others facing difficulties to "never give in" and to "fight with all your might to keep going," showing his determination and resilience.
Following his update, Harris shared a photo with his sons, Dylan and Ben, from a "boys' weekend" in Oxfordshire, highlighting the importance of family during this time. His message of hope and perseverance resonated with many, offering inspiration to those dealing with their own health challenges.
