Greetings, and from your temporarily-sidelined morning man, many thanks for the gracious, generous messages you’ve sent regarding my recent surgery and ongoing recovery. Your prayers and best wishes are wonderful to read, and I’m very grateful for your kindness.
My return to mornings, Carolina Live and Artist Spotlight has been delayed a few days — seems I was a bit too optimistic in forecasting a date by which to return. We’re now shooting for Monday, June 22. I’m confident the healing and rejuvenation will do nothing but accelerate in the days until that date.
By the way, the surgeon and pathologists who followed up are pretty darn confident they got all the cancer when they operated. It looks encouraging at this point that I won’t have to undergo any other form of cancer treatment. Yet another blessing…
So be well in the meantime, keep enjoying the wonderful music and great people on WDAV and wdav.org. I’ll be back as soon as I can get there.
Mike

We do miss hearing your voice at 5AM every morning, but Frank and others have been doing very well. They must have some experience. Glad all went well with the surgery, so all those prayers have been doing what we knew they could do. Stay on your good behavior and we will meet again. Love George and Jane Ireton
We are so glad you will be back soon! Miss your voice in the morning. Thank you for keeping everyone informed.
May God Bless!

We’re both very happy to hear the great news, Mike!
Rest well, and we’re looking very forward to hearing you on the 22nd!!
MikeL So very glad that surgery went well and that pronosis is excellent. We will await your return to the air waves but take it easy and be really ready.My best to you. Charlie
Mike, I just never would have guessed it. Right after Joe Brandt commented on your suergery this morning, he lead seamlessly into a recognition of Dr. Pierre Martinbeau, specialist in gynecological surgery:) As a survivor of a very aggressive form, I can assure you that it is not only possible to overcome cancer, but probable! In my prayers and expectations I anticipate nothing but the same blessing for you. Do well, my friend. Peace. Jim
So glad to hear that you are making good progress. I miss your voice and look forward to your return. Be sure you are truly ready to return to the air.
Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Mike,
As fantastic a job as Frank has been doing, we don’t want to wear him out and sideline him as well! We have missed you in the morning and are so grateful that things went well and you’ll be back with us soon. If thoughts and prayers count for anything, you shouldn’t have anything to worry about!
Regards, Tom & Gwen
Blessings to you, Mike. You have given much joy over the years and I’m looking forward to many more.

Mike, I have missed you for several weeks, but just checked the web today and learned of your illness. Years ago the station had a Valentine contest. I started a sonnet (apologies to EBB). This is how it began:
WDAV, How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love to begin my day
Hearing the melodious voice of Mike McKay.
We are glad your surgery and recovery are going well. We miss your kind voice and look forward to “hearing” you soon! Take care of yourself. We are sending you lots of positive energy!

What a Blessing to hear of the great report from the Dr.’s on your behalf. We have been praying for you and thank the Lord for granting you a ‘speedy’ recovery and return to WDAV ~ we’ve been missing you !
I have missed you in the mornings and look forward to your return. As a cancer survivor myself, I can assure you that this experience will make you look at life differently and appreciate it more. It has not been altogether a bad experience for me and won’t be for you either I hope. Use it well!
