I'm grateful to HBO for telling my story, and I'd like to thank everyone for their ongoing support.
I have acute myeloid leukemia, an aggressive type of cancer. The typical prognosis is 3-6 months to live, but I would like to stress that is for a patient who is not receiving treatment.
I look forward to continuing my work on the sidelines for Turner Sports.
To those out there who are suffering from cancer, facing adversity, I want you to know that your will to live can make all the difference in the world.

I first met Jim Valvano in the 1980s when he was a frequent guest on our CNN 'Coaches Corner' show based in Atlanta, as he was always in the area recruiting the next North Carolina State basketball phenom.
As a young boy, I had the usual hobbies - sports, baseball cards, model airplanes and trains. But I always had a distinct fascination with trains.
Like most boys, I had a model train set up in my bedroom, resting on a little-used ping-pong table upstairs.
Vice President Biden had recently launched the 'Cancer Moonshots', a campaign to finally eradicate cancer across humanity. He had lost his eldest son, Beau, in 2015, to brain cancer, and the ESPYs gave him a platform to raise awareness.
