Extra Correspondent Survives Cancer

We’ve had so much good news about people fighting off cancer this week!

Extra news correspondent Jerry Penacoli was dianosed with stage three melanoma last fall and decided to document his battle through it in a video diary.

Things went poorly when doctors tried to operate on the mole.

“Two surgeries later I ended up with one nasty infection, stuck in the hospital with a 104-degree fever, on intravenous antibiotics,” said Penacoli.

Thankfully, he beat it and was back to work on Monday!
