Zelasko has thyroid cancer.

Bad news really does come in threes.

In the same week Dick Vitale underwent throat surgery and Stuart Scott revealed he will undergo chemotherapy, Fox Sports host Jeanne Zelasko revealed she has a form of thyroid cancer. Zelasko, MLB on FOX studio host since 2001, “found out Tuesday about a bump found during her yearly physical and was told by her doctors that it was in the very early stages.”

Zelasko will have surgery after serving on the broadcast team for two college football bowl games on FOX.

I have had knowledge of my thyroid disorder for three years. Thyroid disorders are not uncommon. I get my blood levels checked twice a year. Ironically, I just had my blood checked and it looks great. I guess they have to look for a tumor marker in the blood. And who knew to look for that on a routine test.

Zelasko and Stuart Scott share the same agent, which led to Zelasko joking “I told her we have to add her to the list of things that cause cancer.”
