Scott Hennen is on the air three hours every weekday on his syndicated radio program based in Fargo, North Dakota. He has had ulcerative colitis since 1997, and on Monday morning is scheduled to have his colon removed at Mayo Clinic.
Scott came to Rochester late last week for pre-surgery appointments, and broadcast his show live from the Mayo Clinic campus. Just before his Friday show, he reflected on why he has chosen to be so public about his medical condition and treatment:
Scott’s family will be providing updates on his progress Monday via his Facebook profile and on his Twitter account.
We plan to follow up in the coming days, posting additional video from our Friday interview with Scott and video updates during his recovery.

Thank you for inviting us along! I was diagnosed with UC in 2004, and this past August my bowel perforated. I now have a colostomy and a very sick colon. Remicade has helped, but not much. I will be following you closely as in a couple weeks I’m scheduled to have my colon removed in the first surgery for a J-pouch. Thank u again!
