Randolph Mantooth has been very quiet on social media recently and yesterday he revealed why. The star of Emergency took to Facebook to let his fans know he has been battling cancer.
Hey everyone,
I know I’ve been absent from social media for a long time now, so I want to start by thanking my fans and followers for hanging in there with me. Your unfailing loyalty never ceases to amaze me. It means more to me than you’ll ever know.
Earlier this year, I was diagnosed with cancer, and I decided to share that news with only a small circle of family and friends, who respected and honored my request for privacy, and were there to help every step of the way.
It pleases me to say that I have successfully completed treatment and have begun the long recovery process. I am feeling stronger every day and am focusing now on getting back to my normal life as quickly as I can.
He also let his fans know that he sadly lost his sister to cancer on August 26th.
Mantooth is hoping to get back into the swing of things again real soon, but he needs a little more time. Hopefully he will be better soon and Facebooking and Tweeting up a storm.
Did you know that even after Emergency ended, he is still very active in charities related to firemen? Emergency was more than a show to him, it has become part of his life for nearly 40 years now.
If you have never seen Emergency, the medical drama that helped to make Paramedics a national program, you can watch it daily on MeTV or binge watch it on Netflix. I highly recommend doing one or the other.
