Motor sport commentator Murray Walker is to have chemotherapy over the next few months after being diagnosed with cancer.
The 89-year-old said he had a form of lymphatic system cancer, but said the condition was treatable.
He told the BBC: "They've caught it incredibly early. It's treatable, the doctors say my condition is mild and I'm very hopeful."
Walker was diagnosed with the illness during tests after breaking his pelvis in a fall last month.
His distinctive commentating style became synonymous with motor racing as he covered the sport for more than half a century before retiring in 2001.
According to the Cancer Research UK website, the lymphatic system is a system of thin tubes that runs throughout the body. These tubes are called lymph vessels or lymphatic vessels.
The lymphatic system is like the blood circulation - the vessels branch through all parts of the body like the arteries and veins that carry blood.
But the lymphatic system tubes are much finer and carry a colourless liquid called lymph, which contains a high number of lymphocytes or white blood cells.
Plasma leaks out of the capillaries to surround and bathe the body tissues. This then drains into the lymph vessels.
