Dick Vitale shared an encouraging update regarding his health on Thursday just over two months after the legendary analyst returned to broadcasting following a bout with lymphoma and dysplasia on his vocal cords.
Vitale, who declared in August that he was “cancer-free,” shared details on Twitter from a recent visit with throat specialist Steven Zeitels for his quarterly exam. The 83-year-old disclosed that he had “a little scare” during the visit after Zeitels found “a small growth” on his vocal cords that needed to be removed.
Fortunately, the legendary college football broadcaster announced the growth was found to be “non-cancerous” and was promptly removed by Zeitels during a procedure in his office that required the use of anesthesia.
