Sir Geoffrey Boycott, the legendary English cricketer, has been diagnosed with throat cancer once again at the age of 83 and is scheduled to undergo surgery.
Geoffrey, who was born in 1940, started his illustrious career in 1962 and played for both Yorkshire and England. He debuted internationally in 1964 and became one of the best openers in cricket until retiring in 1986. He was included in the English squad that finished second in the 1979 World Cup.
Geoffrey Boycott Diagnosed With Cancer Again
Geoffrey was diagnosed with throat cancer for the first time in 2002. He was cured after a successful treatment. But now, after two decades, he is diagnosed again with the same, as informed by the legendary player.
“In the last few weeks I have had an MRI scan, a CT scan, a PET scan, and two biopsies, and it has now been confirmed I have throat cancer and will require an operation.
“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.”
Geoffey’s surgery is scheduled for two weeks from now. He is hopeful that there will not be a need for chemotherapy again.
