Awesome, baby!
ESPN college basketball analyst Dick Vitale, whose enthusiastic game calls have been a staple of the sport for decades, announced today that he is cancer-free.
Vitale had lengthy battles with lymphoma and melanoma, forcing him off television and causing him to lose his voice at one point.
“Dr Rick Brown just notified me with my results of my major Pet Scan & told me news I wish Every cancer patient can hear,” Vitale posted Wednesday on his verified Twitter account. “He said ‘Dick u have gone from being in remission to being Cancer Free’ ! Thank u to All of You that have sent me (prayers).”
The 83-year-old Vitale has been up and down in his cancer battle. After announcing in August 2021 that he had beaten melanoma, he then contracted lymphoma, a condition unrelated to his previous bout.
Last December, Vitale decided to step away from ESPN to undergo treatment.
