NEW YORK
(AP) -- Major League Soccer says that Commissioner Don Garber is being
treated for prostate cancer, and doctors expect he will make a full
recovery
The 56-year-old
Garber has undergone a series of comprehensive tests, and the cancer
hasn't spread, MLS said Saturday. Garber will undergo surgery following
treatment.
''Obviously no one
wants to hear that they have cancer,'' Garber said in a statement.
''However, I am being treated by exceptional doctors at two of the top
hospitals in the world and am confident, as are they, that the prostate
cancer will be successfully treated, with a full recovery.
''I
plan on keeping a normal schedule and will continue managing the league
and Soccer United Marketing during my course of treatment. With the
support of my family, friends, colleagues and doctors, I am feeling very
strong, energized and extremely focused.''
