College basketball broadcasting legend Dick Vitale has announced he is battling cancer once again. A biopsy has confirmed melanoma in his lung and liver cavity, prompting him to begin immunotherapy immediately.
This marks Vitale's fifth cancer diagnosis. He has previously overcome melanoma, lymphoma, vocal-cord cancer, and lymph-node cancer. "I’ve beaten melanoma. I’ve beaten lymphoma. I’ve beaten vocal-cord cancer. I’ve beaten lymph-node cancer. I’m 4 for 4 and I’m fully confident I’m going to make it 5 for 5," Vitale stated.
Vitale, 86, remains optimistic and determined, expressing his continued motivation to raise funds for children battling cancer. "At 86 years young, I’ve lived a hell of a life, and I’m more motivated than ever to raise money for kids battling cancer," he said.
