“I’ve experienced the most incredible care and kindness from the NHS staff who have been looking after me. My surgeon is a Get it On listener so I know I’m in good hands,” he said.
“I will really miss the music and the chat when I’m off but our listeners have given me hundreds of great playlists so that will keep me going over the next few months.”
He delivered the news to his listeners directly in an emotional announcement during his live show on Thursday evening.
“I want to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to all my brilliant producers for all the hand holding and all the encouragement they’ve given me since they found out my news,” he said.
“I’m sure they’ll let you know how I’m doing over the next few weeks”.
Hayley Valentine, director BBC Scotland said: “Bryan is one of our most popular broadcasters on Radio Scotland and I know listeners will join us in wishing him well as he embarks on his treatment.
“We look forward to welcoming him back to the Get it On studio once he’s recovered.”
