Stuart Scott is once again battling cancer, the longtime ESPN anchor announced shortly before hosting the 11 p.m. ET SportsCenter on Monday night.

"Blessed by prayers..I'm back in the Fight. C reared its head again," Scott tweeted to his 260,000 followers. "Chemo evry 2 wks but I'll still work, still work out..still #LIVESTRONG."

Livestrong is the Lance Armstrong foundation that focuses on raising money for those fighting cancer.

The 47-year-old Scott was originally diagnosed in 2007 after undergoing an emergency appendectomy. Doctors found a rare malignancy known as appendiceal cancer, according to Touched By Cancer

magazine.

Scott also received chemotherapy in 2011, he announced on Twitter at the time.

The longtime anchor "plans to continue to work the best he can around his treatments," an ESPN spokesperson told USA Today.

Scott's announcement has been retweeted more than 3,600 times as of early Tuesday morning. He has gotten words of support from numerous professional athletes, including Redskins quarterback

Robert Griffin III.

"Really appreciate all the prayers & well wishes. Nothing changes...I'm rockin the 11pm SPORTSCENTER tonite ..so...WE RIDE STRONG!!," Scott tweeted.

I thought he had prostate cancer? or some shyt like that? It has nothing to do with his eye, I know that.

I remember on ESPN/Documentary them saying something about his eye being effected by the Cancer or something like that. Dont know what type of cancer it was tho.
