Michael Medved spent at least part of his show on Friday 01/30/15 sharing with listeners that he must leave his show in order to get chemotherapy for what is probably throat cancer. I only heard portions of his last hour, but his voice did sound hoarse. He told listeners that some time ago, his family members saw something on his neck. Later it was diagnosed as a cancer. He's going in for chemotherapy followed by some time for recovery. Consistent with his message of "I am not a victim", he said he is a cancer victor as it was caught in time. The morning drive show host at the, (I presume), Salem station in Dallas, TX will be his most consistent fill-in host. I wish Michael well. His is an exciting radio talk show precisely because he relishes taking calls from people who disagree with him. In fact, he as specific "Disagreement Days", and he doesn't shout down those who take him to task on an issue.
