Wade Hayes 'Getting a Little Better' After Cancer Surgery

Beth Gwinn, FilmMagic.com

Wade Hayes is "getting a little better every day," he tells Taste of Country. The 42-year-old country singer is battling stage IV colon cancer, which has reportedly spread to his liver. He had surgery Dec. 8 at Nashville's Vanderbilt University Hospital and was discharged Dec. 17 to recover at home. Wade is happy to report the surgery went better than expected, and he's now resting comfortably.

"Thank you all very much for your prayers and well wishes," he says in a special holiday message to fans on his website. "I really appreciate it."

Best known for his classic hit, 'Old Enough to Know Better,' Wade had a string of hits in the mid-'90s before teaming up with Mark McClurg in the short-lived duo, McHayes. The Oklahoma native's most recent solo album, 'A Place to Turn Around,' was released in 2009.

There's no word yet on Wade's prognosis. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the talented musician for a speedy recovery.

I was speechless when I saw this!!! Felt like all the blood drained out of me! I have been a fan since the mid 90s. & I would know his voice anywhere. Such a beautiful voice!! And he seems to put his whole heart into his songs. I will be praying for his healing & complete recovery, in Jesus' Holy Name!

Wade, Im a colon cancer survivor. I went through surgery, chemo, and radiation. I was fortunate they caught mine in time. Alot of progress has been in the treatment of colon cancer. Wish you the best, stay positive, and embrace humor in your life as I found that to be a good remedy.

Wade, my brother also had stage IV colon cancer 3 years ago that spread to his liver and kidney. Happy to say he had surgery and underwent chemo and he is cancer free today. Wish you the very best in your recovery.

Thoughts and prayers................spreading to the liver is a touchy situation. Years ago it wasn't treatable, but I'm not sure how far medicine has come with this. I also know people say that pancreatic cancer is a death sentence, however I know two people who are 8 and 10 year survivors!
