But in September, Reason was diagnosed with cancer and forced to retire from the program while he underwent six months of chemotherapy, surgery and recovery care.

Reason had missed a critical health check-up in 2001 while covering the 11 September terror attacks in the United States, and he says it almost cost him his life.
