Larry talked to
US Weekly in
a bombshell exclusive, saying: "I go for my checkup and they say, 'Let's do a chest X-ray, and the doctor said to me, 'Something looks funny.' They said the spot looked pretty small...I then did a CAT scan, then a PET scan, and then he said to me, 'You have lung cancer."

But, adds Larry, the doctor added that the cancer was "very small, in the beginning stages." The ex-CNN star was then quickly scheduled for surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on July 17. "The doctor said to me, 'It was malignant but you were in the first stage!'"

US Weekly has
more shocking details about Larry's very private health crisis — which comes after the 83-year-old newsman survived a heart attack in 1987. He's also survived prostate cancer, and says he hasn't smoked a cigarette since the 1980s. But, he warns, "the doctor said that tobacco from 30 years ago is still related to this lung cancer."

Today, King assures
US, "I've never ever felt better than I do now" — adding: "I will probably die on the air. I have beaten so many things health-wise to feel this good now. I have no plans to retire."
