I've seen a blog (no doubt a self-serving piece of dramatics) where someone is readying himself/herself for
the worst!!!!!, but if this was such a life-and-death operation, I suspect Bob would've been "opened up" a week or more ago so pulling a shroud over the man is way too premature.

Barker taped an interview this past week after a taping (also aired on the L.A. CBS station Other pieces of the interview weren't related to health. ie: popularity of the show, etc...) where he mentioned there's one on his ear and one on his back.
Precautionary could mean different things to different people. You could get rid of it, thinking down the road it could be an issue. Or you have something and you have to take notice now, otherwise it could be a problem in the future. Either way, he's taking care of it.
