Former NBC News Anchor Tom Brokaw battling cancer

Former NBC Nightly News host Tom Brokaw is undergoing treatment for cancer, the network announced Tuesday.
Brokaw, now an NBC News Special Correspondent, was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer affecting blood cells in the bone marrow, back in August.

“With the exceptional support of my family, medical team and friends, I am very optimistic about the future and look forward to continuing my life, my work and adventures still to come,” Brokaw said in a statement. “I remain the luckiest guy I know.”


Sad news. I hope he can pull through, but since it's in his bone marrow, it doesn't sound good.

Dan Rather better be keeping a close eye on things. Cancer already took Peter Jennings, and now it's after Brokaw.

Hope he gets better and he was the best among the top 3 anchors back in the day and Brian Williams continues his great legacy.
