26 Mar
Summary
- Weatherman diagnosed with stage-four cancer after voice loss.
- Cancer spread throughout his body, affecting vocal cords.
- He plans to continue working despite treatment challenges.
Kent Boughton, a cherished Nebraska weatherman, has revealed his battle with stage-four cancer. The diagnosis came after he experienced persistent voice issues since January, which were initially treated as laryngitis.
Further medical investigation, including a CT scan, revealed a paralyzed left vocal cord due to a lung tumor. Boughton discovered the cancer when it impacted his voice, noting the irony of his own storm after predicting many for others.
He has already undergone one round of chemotherapy, with another scheduled. Boughton expressed gratitude for the support of his family, colleagues, and the Grand Island community. He intends to continue working at News Channel Nebraska, acknowledging the potential impact of treatment on his voice.
Boughton previously survived a serious car accident in 1999. He is drawing strength from that past survival and asking for continued prayers from his community as he faces this new challenge, vowing to "fight to the end."
