Mansfield Will Chronicle Cancer Fight In Blog

Brian Mansfield with wife Nancy and children Nick, Annalise, Gracelyn and Zac.

Journalist Brian Mansfield will chronicle his fight with colon cancer in a weekly column on USAToday.com. He recently posted the first installment of My Semicolon Life which discusses his diagnosis at age 48.

He is having surgery today (7/16) to remove all but six inches of his colon.

The first blog also discusses how cancer changed the way he hears music and includes a list of songs that “make him want to live.”

As USA Today’s Nashville music critic and American Idol blogger, Mansfield is a much loved member of the music community. We’re pulling for you Brian!
