College basketball broadcaster Dick Vitale has been diagnosed with vocal cord cancer, he announced while assuring fans he’s optimistic about returning to the mic later this year.
While Vitale said he was"disappointed with the pathology report," he plans to undergo six weeks of radiation treatment which could get him back to press row.
“I plan to fight like hell to be ready to call games when the college hoops season kicks off in the fall,” according to Vitale. His doctor has told him that this cancer has"an extremely high cure rate and that radiation, not more surgery, is the best path," Vitale added.
