Radio giant Kyle Sandilands has dropped yet another bombshell on The Kyle and Jackie O show, revealing doctors have found another aneurysm.
The broadcaster told co-host Jackie O that the new one was discovered in his chest,.
The news comes just days after Sandilands announced he was set for brain surgery after his medical team found a brain aneurysm.
“They might go in keyhole, or they might have to cut open my skull – either way, I’ll be out for a bit,” he told listeners.on Monday.
But the bad news has not stopped there.
The 53-year-old, who is also starring on Australian Idol, has now told listeners he has a second aneurysm which was discovered during routine checks following the original diagnosis.
Kyle Sandilands announced on Monday on his KIIS FM breakfast show that he needs surgery for a brain aneurysm.
“They found another one in my chest and that’s a separate surgery and I have very bad calcium buildup in the heart where I’m likely to have a heart attack,” he told listeners.
The broadcaster also revealed more about the surgery he will need to undergo for his brain aneurysm.
“The aneurysm I’ve got is sort of at a T junction, you know, where your blood vessel travels up and then splits off, more like a shape of a Y.
“So in the middle of that, the top of that Y, that’s where the aneurysm is, and because the blood pressure has been going so strong through me, it’s buckled the the shape of the veins. They were going to thread through a vein and stick a little cannula in there and and put this coil in there. Well, mine’s the wrong shape for a coil.
“The only option to get to it is to open the skull. Then they have to drill a hole through my skull the size of a drinking glass, pull that bit of skull out and then go into the brain,” he said.
But immediate surgery might not be the best option for the star who has a two-year-old son.
‘As soon as I do any procedure my risk goes right up,” he said describing a conversation with his doctor. “He told me to take the weekend to think about it.”
Speaking later on the show Kyle admitted his medical team were keen for him to overhaul his diet and lifestyle for the rest of his life, but the changes were hard to face.
“It’s what I need to add to my life, it’s the walking and the swimming. I’m not allowed to do certain things but other things are important.
“I’ve got to get rid of salt and I’ve got to get rid of dairy and bread – all the stuff I love.”
But Sandilands did admit he wanted to make those changes for the sake of his son, Otto, who is two.
“I’m married with a child. If I was single with no children, I’d just keep [going] until I died. I wouldn’t give a s*** but priorities change. Everything will be fine.”
