Simon Bray
It was announced Saturday afternoon on TVG that Simon Bray, an on-air analyst and personality at the network, has been recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a rare form of blood cancer that is incurable but treatable.
Bray released the following statement:
"A month ago I was in the healthiest and best condition of my life so it was surprising when I broke a vertebra in my back after one of my routine workouts. It was a rare fracture. My doctor therefore ordered a battery of tests and scans. Unfortunately, the results of those tests turned my life upside down in an instant.

I have multiple myeloma, a rare form of blood cancer, and while not curable, it is treatable. Obviously this has been very hard to come to terms with but my primary focus will now be fighting this disease. I am extremely lucky to have a very strong and supportive family including my wife, my young son and a baby daughter due in one month.
With the help of doctors at the City of Hope hospital, I will be getting some of the best care in the country.
I appreciate the overwhelming support from TVG and look forward to returning to the job I love so very much. Thanks for your support."
