    News broadcast legend Tom Brokaw announced Tuesday that he has been diagnosed with blood cancer.

    The former anchor of the "NBC Nightly News" was diagnosed of multiple myeloma in August but decided to keep it a secret. Brokaw, 74, issued a statement via NBC to let his followers know about his condition. His doctors gave a good prognosis with regard to the broadcaster's battle and said that he has been responding well to treatment.

    "With the exceptional support of my family, medical team and friends, I am very optimistic about the future and look forward to continuing my life, my work and adventures still to come. I remain the luckiest guy I know," said Brokaw.

    "I am very grateful for the interest in my condition but I also hope everyone understands I wish to keep this a private matter," he added.
