Oh No! Larry King Reveals He Has Lung Cancer
This week, Larry King revealed he had stage 1 lung cancer and underwent a successful surgery this summer.
“The reason I go public with it is to tell people, ‘Get a chest X-ray,’” he told Extra. “If I had not had the chest X-ray, it would have progressed.”
He elaborated: “On July 17, I had the surgery here at Cedars. They took it out. It was malignant. They were going to take it out if it was malignant or benign. They tested it. They said, ‘You are fine.’ It was stage 1… I feel good, I get my checkups, I stay healthy and I love working. I do Ora.TV, I do politicking, I still make speeches, I’m active.”
The he quipped, “I’ll die on the air probably.”
