He just wrapped up his 46th year covering college basketball at ESPN. “I am truly overwhelmed by the love, support, prayers and messages I’ve received from so many people” Vitale said. “I’m incredibly blessed to have my family beside me, and my ESPN family — led by Chairman Jimmy Pitaro — has been absolutely terrific. Their support has inspired me to keep fighting and I will do everything in my power to win another battle. “I obviously did not get the report today that I was hoping for when my oncologist called . It has been 10 days of many exams Pet Scan – Cat scan – 2 MRI’s- Biopsy – multiple bloodwork – now at least I know what I face,” Vitale wrote on social media. “The Melanoma Lung & liver cavity cancer will mean I will start IMMUNE THERAPY next week – plan on winning the battle!” he added.

Vitale’s previous bouts with cancer have increasingly motivated him to help raise money for those going through their own battles, which he noted in his statement on Monday. “At 86 years young, I’ve lived a h*** of a life, and I’m more motivated than ever to raise money for kids battling cancer,” he continued. “No child should ever have to go through what I’ve experienced. I am grateful beyond words for all of the support I’ve received, and I’m already looking forward to this year’s annual Gala on May 1. I really feel we will raise $12 million to add to the $105 million we’ve already raised, all for pediatric cancer research.” Vitale underwent a PET scan, a CAT scan and two MRI’s last week, with the results concerning his doctors, and led him to have a biopsy done on Friday. The situation bothered Vitale enough that he had been asking his supporters to “hope & pray for good results” in a post on X. In a post earlier in the day on Monday, Vitale said that he couldn’t sleep because he was “so worried about the report I will get on my biopsy I had on Friday.”
