Radio host Dan Bongino, 45, has shared a visual update following the removal of a tumor he initially thought was just a lipoma. The popular host has stayed super-active on social media, connecting with his fans, and continues to do his podcast as he battles possible lymphoma.
Bongino has been really open, sharing the news about his need for surgery to remove the lump. He’s also has spoken about how he has, in the past, had lipomas, or “fatty tumors,” and that they’ve always been benign.

Bongino got choked up discussing his medical news on a Fox broadcast. He went on to say of the tumor, “I didn’t think anything of it, so I went to get an MRI thinking it was a lipoma and when I rolled out of the machine, there is nothing worse than having a radiologist look at ya and I said, ‘It’s a lipoma, right?’ And he said ‘no, it is not a lipoma.’”
Recovery from Surgery
Keeping his fans informed, as they worry about his health, Bongino posted an update to his Instagram account after his surgery. We can see his scar bandaged up as he assures his fans that all will be okay.
The radio host wrote: “I’m out of surgery & I feel good. They removed the whole tumor from my neck. The bad news is, it looks like lymphoma. The good news is, there are treatment options. Either way, we’ll be okay.”
Fans showered him with support and love. One wrote:
“You will be ok. We are here for you. You are strong. God is with you.”
Another fan said: “Sending our prayers”
One fan sent an empowering message, writing: “There ARE treatment options! My stepmom is cancer free after lymphoma – God’s got this!”
This particular fan was on the money. There are treatment options for this disease.
Bongino Plows Ahead In Spite of Health Obstacles
His popular talk show, The Dan Bongino Show, continues amid the host’s health scare. Just today, a new episode aired, and he sounded in good spirits! Bongino paid homage to Columbus Day, and thanks fans for their support of his book, Follow the Money.
“As a half-Italian, half-Irish German Englishman by the name of Dan Bongino. Always proud of Columbus Day….Happy Columbus Day to everyone out there,” and said with a chuckle, “Go visit your local Columbus statue.”
Bongino thanked his fans for showing him love as he underwent surgery for his tumor, and thus wasn’t able to promote his book.
“We had a stellar week last week,” Bongino said on-air today. Thank you again for [helping the sales of] my book. You guys and ladies out there are amazing. I did no PR obviously because of the medical procedure. You drove [the book] to number 3 on Amazon my new book Follow the Money. Thank you all, sincerely. It means the world to me. You’re such a great audience.”
Radio Host Dan Bongino Gets Outpouring of Support as He Preps For Surgery To Remove Neck Tumor: “Please Pray”
It’s pretty impressive that while recovering from surgery, Bongino is still managing to host his show, stay active on social media, and promote his book. He tells his fans how much he appreciates their support.
Understanding Lymphoma And Its Treatment
There are many treatment options for lymphoma. But what is this kind of cancer, exactly? Lymphoma begins in the cells that are part of the body’s immune system, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). The treatment path for lymphoma will depend on what type of lymphoma the patient has.

The type will inform both a patent’s prognosis, as well as their options when it comes to treatment. Hodgkin Lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma are two types that can occur, and each will be treated in a way that best suits the cancer type.

Bongino has yet to disclose the type of lymphoma he has; and if he chooses to do so, his fans may be able to learn more about his treatment path. (Of course, health is a very private matter, and some may choose to keep their treatment – as well as their diagnosis – a secret.)
Amid his lymphoma battle, we keep Bongino in our thoughts, and hope for his speedy recovery.
Dr. Jason Westin shares which symptoms are associated with lymphoma.
