Ray Warren: I have prostate cancer
Triple M and Channel Nine Rugby League commentator Ray Warren has revealed he has prostate cancer.
Ray announced the news on 2MMM's Dead Set Legends:
“I got diagnosed on Wednesday with prostate cancer.
“It's devastating. I'm scared. But I'm very positive. By this time next week I might be rid of the prostate cancer, through operation”.
Ray told Dead Set Legends that a hospital visit in October 2010, which almost led to him missing the NRL Grand Final, was linked with the recent cancer diagnosis.
“I had a thing called prostatitis. The doctor said then there was something wrong with my prostate.
“It's been eight months checking the PSA blood reading, and it hadn't come down sufficiently.
“You don't want to leave this life when you're having a good time. And I'm having a very good time, because I've got a lovely wife and a thirteen year old daughter”
Ray had CAT scans and bone scans yesterday, and is remaining positive through the ordeal.
“I'm sure I'll be OK. I've had so many friends (that have had it) that have rung me, and they're OK”
“It's game on”.
