He had been diagnosed with stage four liver cancer, reports The Desert Sun.

"Reading the prayers people sent to me got me going again," Feingold said by phone after the show. "I was ready to check out, but then I said, ‘No, I can’t.' People love the show and I want to do it for them."

"I said if I would have been more diligent in getting colonoscopies after stopping six years ago when I was 63 that this wouldn’t have happened, and they would have caught it much earlier," Feingold said.

The radio host is still undergoing chemotherapy and said his current health status is up in the air.

"For the time being, I’ve really beaten down the cancer, but it’s still there and active," Feingold said. "I have a whole new outlook.
