December 8, 2009
Boston (DbTechNo) - It is being reported today that Bryant Gumbel has been diagnosed with lung cancer.
For those of you unfamiliar with the name, Gumbel is a notable television personality, who has served as co-host of NBC’s “The Today Show” and currently hosts “Real Sports” on HBO.
He broke the news today on Live! With Regis and Kelly,” where he is currently filling in for the afore mentioned Regis.
He says that he kept the diagnosis to himself, telling very few people.
“It’s nothing to run from, it’s just that I’ve not made it public,” Gumbel said. “Two months ago I had cancer surgery.”
“It’s nothing to hide from,” Gumbel added. “They opened up my chest, they took a malignant tumor and they took part of my lung and they took some other goodies. And the pathology on most of the stuff had been benign, but enough aggressive cells had escaped the tumor that it warranted some treatment and I went through that and it’s done now.”
Gumbel, 61, is schedule to meet again with his surgeon for a follow up visit next week.
