Falcons owner Arthur Blank made an announcement about his health on Tuesday.
Blank released a statement through the team to let the public know that he is receiving medical treatment for prostate cancer. Blank, who is 73, says the prognosis for recovery is a good one.
“In December I was diagnosed with a treatable form of prostate cancer,” Blank said in the statement. “Over the last several weeks Angie and I have visited a number of expert doctors and hospitals across the country to identify the best treatment options for me. I have chosen an aggressive approach that will include surgery and the overall prognosis is good. I’m looking forward to getting this behind me and continuing a very active lifestyle, my upcoming wedding, as well as continued active involvement in our businesses and philanthropic efforts for years to come.”
Everyone at PFT sends best wishes to Blank for success in his treatments and hope for a speedy recovery.
