BBC DJ Trevor Nelson reveals brain tumour surgery 'went well'
BBC DJ and presenter Trevor Nelson has revealed he stepped away from work after being diagnosed with a brain tumour.
Nelson was last on air in June and had announced he was "taking a little break from my work commitments" due to "health issues".
Speaking to his Instagram followers, external, the 62-year-old said that his "world was turned upside down" when a brain tumour was discovered.
He said that he had undergone a "very serious surgery" which "went incredibly well".
Speaking on Instagram on Thursday, Nelson explained: "There's been a lot of speculation as to what's wrong with me, I know that much. My phone's blown up 20 times over with people asking what's wrong with me.
"I felt that I should at least tell you what was wrong with me. I'm not going to go into it all now and I will deep dive into it at a later date so you can hear the full story."
He continued: "I'll tell you this, I was minding my own business and then it was discovered I had a brain tumour.
"I was shocked, my world was turned upside down, it was a shock to myself and close family and friends and you can imagine quite literally my head was all over the place."
He reassured fans his surgery went well and last month has "been at home, recuperating, recovering and resting and getting some post-op treatment as well".
He added that he feels "great right now" and "ready to come back".
