ESPN Anchor Says Cancer Has Returned

ESPN anchor Stuart Scott said on Monday that he will undergo more chemotherapy treatments for cancer, according to USA Today.

On Twitter, the ESPN anchor said, "I'm back in the fight. C reared its head again. Chemo evry 2 weeks, but I'll still work, still work out."

Scott was not available for immediate comment. ESPN spokesman Mike Soltys said Scott "plans to continue to work the best he can around his treatments."

Scott fell ill in 2007 and underwent an emergency appendectomy during which doctors found a malignancy. He later underwent chemotherapy. At the time, doctors indicated they were confident they had removed the cancerous tissue. Scott said at the time that he's "not the type of guy to let this eat up my life."


In 2011, Scott announced on Twitter that he was undergoing chemotherapy for cancer, but he did not disclose more details.
