WQOW (Eau Claire, WI) Anchor Keith Edwards told viewers that Lymphoma, a type of cancer, was recently found in his thyroid gland.

He also posted a message to viewers:

“The next step is chemotherapy, which will start in early November. One of the many side effects of chemo is, of course, going bald — so I just wanted to give you advance notice of an upcoming big change in my appearance.

Otherwise, my prognosis is good, I have great doctors, and I have great support from my family, friends and my coworkers. I thank everyone for their support.”
