ESPN's Scott gets cancer diagnosis after appendectomy


By Michael Hiestand, USA TODAY



ESPN anchor Stuart Scott has been diagnosed with a malignancy in his appendix and plans to begin chemotherapy.

The malignancy was discovered when he had emergency appendectomy surgery on Nov. 26. He had a second surgery to remove surrounding tissue.

A statement Thursday from ESPN said Scott's physicians "are confident they eliminated the cancerous tissue but have prescribed preventative chemotherapy."

Scott will return to on-air studio work on ESPN's NBA doubleheader Friday and will debut as ABC's NBA studio host on Christmas Day. If needed, ESPN's Mark Jones would sub for Scott.

Says Scott, in a statement: "Talk about a shocker … But I'm not the type of guy to let this eat up my life."

Horrible news.

damn........

Dang.

I mean, I've talked about how annoying dude is and how hard he tries (too hard), but this is a separate thing right here.

I hope nothing but the best for him, including a full, painless recovery.

Stay up, Stu.

Get back on air so we can hear more of your 'BOOYAH!' and 'This one's for Pookie and Ray-Ray and all them.'
