-- -- Continues his battle with cancer Charlie Gasparino -- there is some good -- but also some concerns and of course you broke this story.

A month ago.

Not exactly a story I -- -- wanna break -- things serious situation but here's what we know.

Right now about taste condition -- he runs right now not just -- from the high -- big sports marketing companies I think when the news and -- these transforming that.

From a talent agency the something big figure something that this marketing across the globe sports unit that this is he that was his vision that he's only halfway there.

And obviously he's got 60 here's what we know now about his -- number one the people associate to tell me that the initial treatments.

-- the -- the steroids that it that he's taken to working post surgical some surgery to get to take out some of the tumors however he still has tumors in there.

Those tumors according to these associates are shrinking.

That's the good news -- is a not so good news to concerning is what they've got determined right now doctors have determined.

That this is the same type of cancer that Teddy Kennedy had performers -- Massachusetts.

Senator.

And -- -- Kennedy after diagnosis was about a year and a few months before.

Where he passed away the other thing is which is that you -- now how we get the story this is Teddy talent people who were telling me because studies.

Been out about he's getting better he's in remission.

But would -- -- what we -- these what he's told people that he's really angered that his doctors took more than you or at least a year to diagnose being misdiagnosed and as having meningitis.

Among other illnesses for about a year and then -- when he went that this is a and he went to the Mayo Clinic and he found that that is tightly and -- -- so.

That's -- we are right now it's.

It's it's positive news in the sense that yes to treatment is working I guess -- -- in remission.

The negative news is that they waited a long time for taken out and he is -- right -- he of course.

Head of I MT stepped away for just a bit while the I have.

That's what I'm asking to be -- that if and what I'm saying is he's still doing the best -- but he struggles with it.

He's engaged as much as he can be gates now he's got his I think -- former CFO and Mike don't want time.

Executive at that place is working with him on the day to day operations from what I understand most of those big decisions like -- when Tiger Woods' agent.

Is made made by and then -- they pertain -- can keep -- will parker go with this agent.

I know there are rumors he go with the age you know here's -- thing I think it's 5050 usually.

You go -- agent that's where that's usually what happens you know people keep agents when they leave leave different firms and they bigamy was fired for according to the reports lack of performance well you know -- performing -- for tiger.

That's the question when you -- gonna cost a lot endorsed evidence of its that the agents for you know I don't know what went on behind the -- I guess that is fair yes it's always the agents for.

Instance I understood that -- this is typical situation I I think.

The most unsettling news here is that doctors determined it's the type of brain cancer that.

Teddy Kennedy -- and that.

At that of the various difficult it can't -- we're pulling for to absolutely absolutely have to.
