Former ESPN star Adrian Wojnarowski revealed in an interview he was diagnosed with prostate cancer before he decided to leave the company and take a job at St. Bonaventure.
Wojnarowski opened up about the cancer in an interview with Sports Illustrated. He said he went to the doctor in February and blood tests revealed an elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA). He had a second blood test after an MRI showed nothing. A biopsy later revealed the early-stage cancer.
“When you hear cancer, you think about it going through your body like Pac-Man,” Wojnarowski said. “Prostate cancer, it generally stays confined to your prostate and is typically slow growing.”
He added that the cancer is “pretty limited in scope” and that he’s going through checkups every three months. He said doctors have told him to change his eating habits and surgery is an option but only if he can’t handle the battle mentally, according to Sports Illustrated.
