BBC presenter Bob Harris has issued an “exciting” new c@ncer update just weeks after he was forced to undergo intense treatment. At the start of the month, the presenter shared a clip from his hospital bed explaining that his stage four prostate c@ncer had “gotten more of a hold” of him. Now, the radio presenter has shared some positive news with his loyal legion of fans following a recent update from his c@ncer team.
Taking to Instagram on Friday (September 18), the 80-year-old broadcaster was seen sitting on a chair in his garden as he cheerfully shared the elating news. He began: “I’ve got some news, and I’m so thrilled to bring you this news.
“This morning, I have been speaking with my oncologist, and we are going to continue with my c@ncer treatment. We’re getting back under control. I know I was a little bit worried a short time ago, but everything is getting back under control now, and I can see the pathway of my life ahead of me opening up again. It’s just fantastic news.”
He captioned the post: “The sun is shining, and I’m so happy to bring you this fantastic news. Never lose the faith, folks! The weekend starts here…” The dad-of-eight went on to tease another exciting update coming next week as he beamed to the camera.
It didn’t take long for his famous friends and loyal legion of fans to flock to the comments to share their well-wishes online. One user penned: “You are a ray of SUNSHINE! What fantastic news. Happy weekend to you.”
Another agreed: “Wonderful news, Bob! [three heart emojis] We’ve been thinking of you, and this is so good to see.” A third echoed: “Great news, Bob. Onwards. [praise emoji, heart emoji].”
The Radio 2 legend was forced to step down from his post after 56 years following his devastating c@ncer diagnosis. In June, Bob announced that he would be leaving the programme after his prostate c@ncer spread to his spine.
He said at the time: “I am very fortunate to have spent my entire working life doing something I love so much. I am a massive BBC loyalist, and I’m grateful that I have always been given the freedom to build my programmes in my own way.”
