Veteran ESPN broadcaster Dick Vitale is confronting his fifth battle with cancer, having revealed on Monday that biopsy results confirmed a diagnosis of melanoma in his lung and liver cavity. The 86-year-old is set to begin immunotherapy as he faces this latest health challenge.
Mr Vitale, known affectionately as "Dickie V", expressed his unwavering confidence in a statement released by ESPN. "I've beaten melanoma," he declared. "I've beaten lymphoma. I've beaten vocal-cord cancer. I've beaten lymph-node cancer. I'm four for four and I'm fully confident I'm going to make it five for five."
