Sir Geoffrey Boycott, 83, reveals he has been diagnosed with throat cancer for the second time as the former England batsman prepares for surgery
Former England batsman Sir Geoffrey Boycott has revealed he has been diagnosed with throat cancer for the second time.
Boycott confirmed his diagnosis in a statement to The Telegraph, revealing he will require an operation.
'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,' Boycott said.
'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.'
