DJ Bob Harris gives update on health after feeling concerned about developing cancer.

Bob Harris, the beloved BBC broadcasting legend, has recently given an update on his health after sharing his battle with cancer. The 80-year-old radio presenter announced earlier this year that he would be stepping away from his BBC Radio 2 shows to focus on his health. Fans were concerned when Bob revealed that his cancer had spread to his spine, but he has now shared some encouraging news after speaking with his oncologist.

Bob was first diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2007 and has been living with the disease since then. However, he recently shared with his fans that his cancer had begun to progress and he had to undergo an intensive new course of treatment. But in a video shared on Instagram, Bob happily revealed that his cancer is now getting back under control.

He expressed his joy and relief, saying, "I'm so thrilled to be able to bring you this news. We're getting back under control." He also mentioned how speaking with his oncologist gave him hope for the future and that he can see a pathway ahead of him. In the video, Bob also hinted at another announcement coming on Tuesday, leaving fans curious and excited.

This positive update comes after Bob candidly shared last month that his condition had changed. He had been spending time with his loved ones and enjoying the most precious commodity - time. However, he also mentioned that his cancer was getting worse during this time.

But now, with the new treatment, things are looking more hopeful. It has been a challenging year for Bob, who had to announce his retirement from BBC Radio 2 in June due to his health problems. He stepped down from both The Country Show and Sounds of the 70s, stating that he needed to concentrate on getting better.

He also expressed his love and gratitude towards his listeners, saying, "Thank you for listening." This decision received an outpouring of love and support from famous faces and musicians who had been championed by Bob throughout his career. Bob Harris is a beloved figure in the broadcasting world, with a career spanning over five decades. He gained fame through The Old Grey Whistle Test, a BBC music program that he hosted from 1972 to 1979.

He later became one of Radio 2's most well-known voices and hosted The Country Show from 1999, along with other programs on BBC Radio 6 Music. Bob has also battled with health issues in the past, including an aortic dissection in 2019, which forced him to take a break from his radio work. As Bob continues his treatment, his fans and colleagues are sending him love and support.

Radio 2 boss Helen Thomas described him as a "true radio legend" and said he was "adored" by everyone. We wish Bob all the best on his road to recovery and eagerly await his next announcement.
