The Idaho Statesman reports that longtime Boise radio personality Mike Kasper will be off air for at least several weeks, following surgery and other treatment for prostate cancer. Kasper, who has been in local radio for about three decades, is a host of the Mix Morning Show on MIX 106, which is owned by Townsquare.
“I talked to him yesterday,” McGwire, who co-hosted the Mix Morning Show with Kasper told the paper. “Mike is a very optimistic person. He’s got an awesome attitude for things like this … He’s not doom and gloom.”
In a video and blog post on the radio station website, Kasper said he’s been having annual prostate exams and getting blood tests for about the last four or five years. A year and a half ago, his doctors told him tests indicated he needed a biopsy to test for cancer. He said his prognosis is good because they caught his cancer early, and he encouraged other men over 50 to start getting checked.
