Dick Vitale announces second cancer diagnosis
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Dick Vitale is as big of supporter of college basketball as you’ll ever find. His delivery on ESPN broadcasts might not be for everyone but you can’t argue against his love for the sport that he’s shared with audiences for over 40 years.
Vitale recently overcame a melanoma diagnosis but unfortunately the legend has announced that a second battle with cancer is underway:
For the second time in just a few months, I’ve been diagnosed with a form of cancer. As a result of some symptoms I’ve had in recent weeks, I’ve been undergoing tests and doctors have now confirmed it’s lymphoma.
Vitale goes onto describe what his doctors have given him as the game plan for his treatment which includes steroids and six months of chemotherapy. The good news is that Vitale’s medical experts tell him there is a 90-percent cure rate with this form.
Vitale also stated that his plan is to continue working as much as possible during treatment.
All the best to Dickie V, who happens to be a die hard Notre Dame football fan.
