"They say my healthy lifestyle and diet has no doubt helped keep it from growing and spreading to other areas, as doctors think [the tumor has] been growing in me for minimum 10 years," Mathison wrote.Mathison, who currently hosts the Hallmark Channel morning talk show "Home and Family," announced the news on Instagram Tuesday.
"About a month ago, I had an MRI for some gut issues I've been having, and during that MRI they found a tumor on my right kidney," he continued. "It's consistent with Renal Cell Carcinoma ... or kidney cancer. The good news is that it hasn't spread to any other organs." Mathison added, "They say my healthy lifestyle and diet has no doubt helped keep it from growing and spreading to other areas, as doctors think it's been growing in me for minimum 10 years. I am extremely lucky that we found it early. Thank you to my longtime friend and urologist @jon_giddens who has helped me tremendously through this process."
The former "Entertainment Tonight" host went on to thank his wife, Vanessa, and their two children, Leila, 13, and Lucas, 16. "Vanessa, Lucas and Leila have been absolutely amazing with their love and support," Mathison wrote. "As have my mom, dad, brother, and everyone at Home and Family, Hallmark, and ET."
