Popular comedian, radio personality and Ready to Love host Nephew Tommy recently shared the news that he was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in May of this year with his social media fans. The good news is, it has since been completely removed and he’s on the road to recovery.
The Houston native, whose real name is Thomas Miles, told his more than 424,000 followers that he beat the disease and is on the mend.
“May 18th, 2022, I got the call that I had been diagnosed with thyroid cancer,” he said. “August 24, 2022, surgery was performed. All cancer is 100% gone. No chemotherapy necessary.”
The media personality also urged fans to get regular checkups. “If I can be an example for anyone. Stay on top of your health. Get check ups on a regular basis,” he added.
He said a personal trainer discovered a lump on his neck while they were working out. Miles went to his primary care physician and was referred to two different specialists. On May 18, he received a phone call telling him he had cancer.
He thanked his wife, Jacqueline, for being by his side.
“Thank you to my wife for her support. I am truly blessed 🙏🏾,” he said in a caption accompanied by a photo of him in a hospital bed with his Jacqueline by his side. ALL CANCER IS 100% GONE.”
