Mets broadcaster and former pitcher Ron Darling announced on Monday he has thyroid cancer.
“After the removal of the mass on my chest along with further tests, I have been diagnosed with thyroid cancer,” Darling said in a statement.
“My doctors have said they are optimistic that the cancer is treatable and that I would be back on air talking baseball in the next month or so. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everybody for their continued support.”
Darling, 58, had previously taken a leave of absence from the SNY booth in early April to have surgery to have a mass removed from his chest.
