Australian presenter Alan Jones has returned to his breakfast slot on Sydney's 2GB radio station after taking time off for cancer treatment.
The 66-year-old star, who has undergone surgery for a brain tumour and prostate cancer, plus skin grafts for a suspected melanoma, said that he would not give up work until he stopped enjoying it.
Jones joked to the AAP: "The obituary is already written... but whether I die at the desk or not, I don't know. That might be some people's wish."
Talking about his treatment, the broadcaster said: "There were low points I suppose, being fed steroid intravenously was hard. But, there were also high points. The high point is just being able to do normal things again. You think actually life's not too bad.''
