Sir Creep 7,070 Posted August 3, 2019 Ray O’Canto was hospitalized in June after complaining of stomach pain. That’s when a CT scan revealed cancerous tumors in his pancreas, liver and lungs. The 60-year-old underwent two rounds of chemotherapy. But instead of killing the cancer, the treatment caused severe side effects and complications. Two months after being hospitalized with cancer, the host and executive producer of the syndicated TV series “DineOut Along the Road” was recently admitted to Hinds Hospice.
