Jeff Burton’s age and health issues explored
Jeff Burton’s fans have been sending him their best wishes on social media after he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He is currently 55 years old and celebrated his most recent birthday in May 2022.
Burton revealed to his listeners in March 2021 that he is suffering from prostate cancer, stating that the diagnosis came after a normal blood test which proved that his PSA levels were rising. He said that he did another check-up after a few months and his PSA levels were still increasing.
Rizzuto recently shared an update about Burton’s health. He also said that Burton had to be in and out of the show in recent times since he had to take bathroom breaks during his appearances. Rizzuto said:
“He was in and out. While he was on the air with us, he texted me a couple of times like, ‘hey turn me down I gotta run to the bathroom.”
Jeff’s wife Julie revealed in a social media post that doctors at Missouri Baptist were trying hard to stabilize him and that he received two blood transfusions alongside a platelet transfusion at the time. Although his condition eventually stabilized, his blood levels were not norma, and it was evident that the cancer was affecting his body.
Rizzuto mentioned that he is expecting a miracle for Jeff. Patrico stated that Jeff has worked in radio for a long time and that he grew up listening to Jeff.
