Baltimore Radio: Get Well wishes For Maria Dennis

Maria Dennis
Radio personality Maria Dennis announced on the air Thursday morning that she has just been diagnosed with leukemia, according to The Baltimore Sun.

Dennis is one third of the popular "Maria and The MIX Morning Show with Reagan and Jon." She explained her three-week absence from the show to listeners on the CBS affiliate WWMX 106.5 FM by describing how she initially went in for a routine colonoscopy.

"My blood work came back all over the ballpark, and they didn't know why," Dennis told her co-hosts Reagan Warfield and Jon Boesche. "So they did further tests, one thing led to another, and they decided that I have A.L.L., which is leukemia. It was a shock to me."


Since the broadcast, thousands of get-well wishes have poured into the station in messages that have been texted, left on the station's Facebook site and tweeted under the hashtag "#getwellmaria."

Dennis said during the broadcast that she doesn't know when she will be released from the hospital. Her main concern, she said, is helping her 7-year-old and 9-year-old sons cope with her absence and prepare for changes in her appearance.



Listeners are urged to send get-well wishes to Dennis through the station's Facebook page or through the mail at Maria Dennis, Mix 106.5, 1423 Clarkview Road, Baltimore, MD 21209.
