ESPN analyst Dick Vitale has vocal cord cancer and promises to be ready for college hoops season
ESPN college basketball analyst Dick Vitale said Wednesday that his battle with cancer is continued, because he has the cord cancer voice again
Vitale, 84, posted on Twitter that he will need six weeks of radiation therapy for the treat .
"I plan to fight like hell to be ready to call the games when hoops season academics will begin in the fall,” Vitale wrote.
Vitale underwent surgery in July and was on vocal rest for 6-8 weeks. It was then that it was discovered that his past problems had returned.
In 2021, Vitale was diagnosed with lymphoma, months after undergoing multiple surgeries to remove a melanoma. Last year he announced he was cancer free.
Vitale has been active in raising funds for cancer, raising over $50 million for the V Foundation for Cancer Research, the foundation of his former Rutgers colleague and longtime friend, Jim Valvano.
