The sports journalist battled lung cancer in 2009, after being a heavy smoker then quitting.
“It’s nothing to hide from,” Gumbel said during his appearance on “Live! With Regis and Kelly” in December 2009. “They opened up my chest, they took a malignant tumor and they took part of my lung and they took some other goodies.”
“And the pathology on most of the stuff had been benign, but enough aggressive cells had escaped the tumor that it warranted some treatment and I went through that and it’s done now,” he continued.
