Geoffrey Boycott Reveals Second Throat Cancer Diagnosis; Set To Undergo Surgery
BBC Test Match Special: Legendary England batter Sir Geoffrey Boycott has revealed about his diagnosis with throat cancer for the second time and said he is set to undergo surgery as part of the treatment in two weeks' time.
Boycott, 83, was informed last week that the cancer, for which he was treated in 2002 through chemotherapy and radiotherapy, has returned. “In the last few weeks I have had an MRI scan, CT scan, a PET scan and two biopsies and it has now been confirmed I have throat cancer and will require an operation.”
"From past experience I realise that to overcome cancer a second time I will need excellent medical treatment and quite a bit of luck and even if the operation is successful every cancer patient knows they have to live with the possibility of it returning. So I will just get on with it and hope for the best," said Boycott in a statement to The Daily Telegraph.
