Atlanta Radio: WSB's Scott Slade Gives Encouraging Update

Scott Slade, the veteran host of 95.5 WSB in Atlanta, provided an encouraging update on the WSB Website about his recovery from multiple myeloma, nearly a month after his stem cell transplant.

 
“Day 29 post-transplant, and I’m doing well,” Slade shared. “The transplant has engrafted, and I’m producing new white blood cells and platelets.”

Slade, who announced his diagnosis earlier this year, is progressing under the care of his medical team at Northside Hospital. He remains cautious to avoid infections, a significant risk at this stage.

 
“I’m taking steps to protect against infections, which could be tough to fight off right now,” he explained. “I’ll also need to redo every vaccination I’ve had since childhood eventually.”

Despite physical challenges, including weight and hair loss, Slade’s resolve to overcome the disease is unwavering.

 
“My determination to defeat multiple myeloma hasn’t wavered,” he said. “With the incredible support of my Northside care team, family, and friends, I’m confident this will lead to lasting remission, allowing me to return to the things I love.”
