Radio host Don Imus announced on his radio show Monday that he is battling stage II prostate cancer.
Imus, 68, known for his controversial and outspoken opinions on everything from sports to politics, offered no word on his prognosis but said that he had full confidence "his doctors will beat it."
"The day you find out is fine," he said. "But the next morning when you get up, your knees are shaking. I didn't think I could make it to work."
Imus speculated that the cancer could be a result of stress.
Perhaps best known for a 2007 scandal that ensued after he referred to the championship-winning Rutger’s Women’s Basketball Team as “nappy-headed hos,” Imus lost his job with CBS, but was hired by ABC later that year.
