Wayne said he would be gone from FOX 8 News during the beginning of 2025 for treatment.

Monday, Wayne shared a video from his appointment at the Cleveland Clinic to his social media page.

“Another part of this cancer journey. It is no joke. As I said before, they took a bone from my fibula to put it in my jaw as well as a graft,” he said.

“Right now, the only pain that I have is the pain when I walk because of the fibula, where the bone was taken from the fibula and put in here,” Wayne said, gesturing to his jaw.

In the video, a Cleveland Clinic nurse named Kelly is taking off tissue that didn’t survive the graft, which she says will promote healing.
