“Goodbye to the Airwaves…” – Bryan Burnett, 59, Bids an Emotional Farewell to BBC over Rare C@ncer!
A BBC presenter of 15 years has announced their extended break from their show after an ‘incredibly rare’ c@ncer di@gnosis.
Bryan Burnett, 59, presents the early evening Get it On show on BBC Radio Scotland weekdays from 6pm.
The broadcaster, from Abderdeen, revealed on Thursday to his listeners that he had been di@gnosed with appendiceal c@ncer earlier this year.
Appendiceal c@ncer, or appendix c@ncer, is a type of c@ncer that grows from cells in the appendix — a small finger-shaped pouch at the end of the large intestine.
Bryan will undergo treatment including ch3m0therapy and abdominal surg3ry.
While the host recovers, his step-in presenter will be Grant Stott.

Bryan said: ‘This is gonna be my last show for a wee while and I want to explain why that is.
‘Unfortunately, I’m gonna have to take some time off the show to have some treatment for c@ncer.’
He added: ‘When they removed my appendix recently, they discovered a tum0ur and appendix c@ncer is incredibly rare but the good news is it is treatable but I do have to have some fairly hefty abdominal surg3ry next week.’
Speaking about what he gone through in recent weeks, Bryan said: ‘I’ve experienced the most incredible care and kindness from the NHS staff who have been looking after me.
‘My surgeon is a Get it On listener so I know I’m in good hands.
‘I will really miss the music and the chat when I’m off but our listeners have given me hundreds of great playlists so that will keep me going over the next few months.’
He added: ‘I want to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to all my brilliant producers for all the hand holding and all the encouragement they’ve given me since they found out my news.
‘I’m sure they’ll let you know how I’m doing over the next few weeks.’
Bryan has worked with the Beeb for a number of years, and in particular BBC Radio Scotland.
But his career started at Northsound Radio in Aberdeen.
Bryan also presented the Top 40 chart show for Radio Clyde in Glasgow.
He presented Brand New Country and won the International Broadcaster of the Year at the Country Music Association awards in 2005.
But the host has also worked in TV, presenting shows for Scottish Television such as Passport Quiz, Red Amber Green and Scottish Passport.
Despite his di@gnosis, Bryan has been busy and recently hosted the GCC awards.
Sharing some snaps to his Instagram, he wrote: ‘Hosting the #gccawards tonight.
‘A chance to celebrate the incredible people who keep our NHS running
‘Not a mosquito bite’: Natasha Hamilton reveals secret c@ncer battle
It comes after Natasha Hamilton opened up about her secret skin c@ncer battle in an emotional Good Morning Britain interview on Friday.
The former Atomic Kitten singer, 42, gave fans a health update as she spoke about her di@gnosis of Basal-cell carcinoma -which she received last year – with hosts Kate Garraway, 58, and Robert Rinder, 47.
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a type of non-melanoma skin c@ncer. Non-melanoma means it does not involve skin pigment cells.
Luckily the singer is c@ncer free, but wanted to raise awareness of the matter.
