Legendary sportscaster Dick Vitale has revealed that he has been diagnosed with cancer after previously beating the disease.
Last August, Vitale gave some good news to his many fans when he announced that he was cancer-free. While he was still fighting his illness he gave a speech at the 2022 ESPY Awards that reminded many of Jimmy V’s classic.
This year, just minutes before the start of the 2023 ESPY Awards, Vitale made a heartbreaking announcement on social media.
“I’m sorry to share that I received tough news today from Dr. Zeitels about my throat,” he said. “The tests on the tissues they removed showed that I have vocal cord cancer and will need six weeks of radiation to treat it.”
