The beloved news anchor went on to check up on his brother, and the show's fanbase responded quickly with a barrage of support messages.
Today's fans are always very supportive of the show's hosts and crew, but some stories are much more moving than others.
This time, it was Craig Melvin's turn after he checked in with his brother, Lawrence Meadows, who was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer last year.
According to Entertainment Daily, the host visited his brother at Houston's MD Anderson Cancer Center in honor of Colon Cancer Awareness Month.
The news anchor's brother was receiving chemotherapy in order to increase his chances of survival, but things haven't been so easy lately.
After going through several rounds of treatment, Meadows admitted to Melvin that the treatment really took a toll on him emotionally.
"You're thinking, 'I didn't sign up for this. When you go to school, they give you this long litany of options. Nowhere in the litany of options did I expect a curveball like cancer," he said.
Then, Melvin's voice revealed that his brother is enduring quite a "tough year," as he's been dealing with a struggling business while battling cancer.
Meadows' treatments are also taking a toll on his family life, as he's "nearly 1000 miles away" from his loved ones every other weekend.
Dr. Scott Kopetz, Meadows' oncologist, said he was impressed with his ability to "stay active in his daily live" despite having to endure chemotherapy.
Thousands of followers are now sending their best wishes to Melvin and Meadows. Even cancer patients have been responsive to his situation.
