Tony Greig diagnosed with cancer
Tony Greig, the former England captain, has been diagnosed with a
form of lung cancer and will undergo a biopsy later this week to
determine at what stage the disease is at and what the required course
of action would be.
"I have had a few scrapes in my life and this is another one," Greig
told the Sunday Telegraph. "[His wife] Vivian and I are going to put the
boxing gloves on and fight this like we've never fought anything
before."
Greig, who is currently a well-known television commentator, was
initially diagnosed with bronchitis in May. His condition did not
improve and tests following the World Twenty20 revealed that he has a
lesion on his right lung.
On his return to Australia from the tournament, he had "a lot of
fluid" drained from the lung, and further testing revealed he had
cancer.
Greig said he was unsure if he will be working over the Australian
summer, as commentator, with Channel Nine: |
