Producer "Big Al" Latall from the old WMAQ-AM is way too positive with this bad news he just got, but that's the kind of guy he is:
Allen Latall commented on his status: "Hello friends. I'm sorry it's taken a while to update but here's what's happening: the cancer they found in my leg again is a very high grade, fast growing form. It has left no other options except to amputate. I'll be going in Tuesday for an above knee on my right leg. Keep the prayers coming. I anm convinced this will lead to an improved quality of life for me once healing has taken place and I am fitted with my prosthesis and adjustments are made."
