Following his brain surgery on September 27, Don will soon begin a six-week course of chemotherapy and radiation treatment.

Eliot Ephraim, Don Wade and Roma's agent, said, "It's not reflective of bad news, it's just the next step given what they've determined this is."

Roma Wade said, "The outpouring of caring from thousands of you, our radio family, has filled our hearts and our home, our coffee table piled high and overflowing with love. Your letters, cards, emails, messages, flowers and, most important, prayers lift our spirits every single day. Thank you."
