94.7's Jeremy Mansfield diagnosed with cancer

SHOOT: Jeremy says he won't change his on-air commitments just yet. Mansfield says also it is a chronic case, it is not life threatening. I imagine in addition to chemo he'll be addressing things like diet and exercise.

Johannesburg - Talk-show host Jeremy Mansfield has been diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and will start a six-month course of chemotherapy, Primedia Broadcasting said on Thursday.


Spokesperson Natasha Wadvalla said 94.7 Highveld Stereo announced the news on Thursday.


"This is not life threatening, but needs to be dealt with, and that is why my doctors and I have chosen to take an aggressive approach to the disease," Mansfield was quoted in the statement as saying.


"I have always been a positive person and that is the way I am approaching this particular hurdle in my life. There is too much good to be done to allow something like this to get in the way," he added.
