Throb · Sun May 06, 2007 10:35 pm Robson fighting new cancer battle

FROM BBC SPORT

Sir Bobby Robson has been diagnosed with cancer for the fifth time.
Doctors have discovered that the 74-year-old former England manager has small cancerous nodules in his lungs.

"My last operation in August was a success but this time the doctors can't operate," said Robson, who has started a six-week course of chemotherapy.

"The good news is that they are measuring the nodules in my lungs in millimetres rather than centimetres," Robson told the Mail on Sunday.

Robson has battled the disease on and off for the last 15 years, having undergone cancer surgery four times.
