The beloved Today weatherman underwent surgery after revealing on air that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer following a routine checkup in September. "It's a good news-bad news kind of thing," he shared on Nov. 6. "Good news is we caught it early. Not great news is that it's a little aggressive, so I'm going to be taking some time off to take care of this."
Two weeks after having his prostate removed, Roker returned to Today and updated fans on his health. "I feel good. I really do," Roker told his co-hosts. "Let me tell ya. Look, after the first week you can get that catheter out. Suddenly, I'm feeling good."
He also revealed what's in store moving forward. "The first week of January I'm going to have blood work and hopefully my PSA has dropped considerably," Roker shared. "And for the next five years I'll get tested every six months."
