Al Roker announces prostate cancer diagnosis
Al Roker shared Friday on "Today" that he will undergo surgery following a prostate cancer diagnosis.
The beloved weatherman said it was discovered after a routine medical checkup in September.
"It's a good news-bad news kind of thing," he said. "Good news is we caught it early. Not great news is that it's a little aggressive, so I'm going to be taking some time off to take care of this."
Roker said he wanted to go public with his illness because 1 in 9 men will be diagnosed with the disease in their lifetime "but for African American men that number's 1 in 7 and is more deadly."
