Life Note: KUPL/Portland, OR personality Jake Byron is recuperating from surgery after being diagnosed with colon cancer. He shared on Facebook that surgeons removed just under half of his colon "where the tumor had eaten through the wall and was causing me such intense pain." He still faces chemotherapy, but is grateful for a proper diagnosis after months of exhaustion and anemia, and reports, "I am in great spirits." Wish him well at 503-780-4732 or here.
