Best wishes to you for a successful recovery. I was diagnosed as having prostate cancer three years ago, only to learn mere hours before the scheduled operation to remove my prostate that the pathology results were incorrect and I did not, in fact, have cancer !! My advice to anyone in this situation, get a second and maybe a third, opinion/diagnisis !!

Sorry to hear about the illness but to have him say he'll be back because he needs to make a buck is a joke.This guy is so overpaid and having bought a $$$squilliion dollar property recently makes me laugh.If you're fair dinkum you'll take the time to recover properly and not make these silly comments.You're not short of a quid by any means.

Radio star Alan Jones has prostate cancer
Will undergo surgery in two weeks
Says prospect of full recovery `very significant`

BROADCASTER Alan Jones has revealed he has prostate cancer.

The talkback king said he would be off work for several weeks while he had surgery but he would return to his breakfast slot on Sydney radio station 2GB when he had recovered.

"Of course I will be returning to air, I`ve got to make a quid," Jones said.

Jones called a press concerence today, where he said he had been diagnosed with the cancer after undergoing a biopsy.

"The prospect of full recovery is very significant," he said.

The 67-year-old is Sydney`s highest-rating radio personality.

Jones said he was diagnosed in May after doctors examined 20 samples, and his cancer had been described as in the mid-range in terms of seriousness.

He said while he expected many listeners would be empathetic, it was "terribly important not to be self-indulgent about these things".

"I am getting on with it and I want you to as well," Jones said when asked if he had a message for his listeners.

Jones said he kept his diagnosis secret from family, friends and colleagues until Tuesday.

"I was only able to indicate to the board these matters the day before yesterday in the sense that I felt it was best that people don`t know because people worry about these things and the fewer people who are worrying the better," he said.

"I know that the board has been very supportive and the intention is that I will continue here.

"If you lose intellectual rigour you tend to wither a little. I don`t intend to wither, not just yet anyway."

The surgery would be carried out at Sydney`s St Vincent`s Hospital in two weeks, and Jones said he intended to be on air until the eve of the operation.

He said he was maintaining a positive outlook and was confident he had the best medical team.

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd today wished Jones a speed recovery.

"I wish Alan Jones all the best with his treatment for prostate cancer," Mr Rudd said.

"I hope Alan`s surgery is a success and he has the quickest possible recovery."

Bad year for health

The veteran broadcaster has been plagued by health and low energy problems this year which forced him off air for a number of weeks.

Jones - who recently bought a $4.5 million apartment at Avoca Beach, on the NSW Central Coast - signed a seven-year contract with Macquarie`s 2GB in February 2002 which expires early next year.

He has maintained a relentless workload during the past two decades but last month he was caught napping at a Michael Buble concert at the Sydney Entertainment Centre.

He also declined to host a tribute to former prime minister John Howard in May due to illness.

According to the 2GB website, Alan Jones received the Australian Radio Talk Personality of the Year award in 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1995, 1996 and 1997.

In 2004, he was made an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO).
