6ABC sports director Gary Papa, 53, announced during Friday's 6 p.m. news that the prostate cancer he has been battling since 2003 has come back and he is undergoing chemotherapy.  

 

Viewers have been speculating about Papa's health due to his physical appearance for a couple of weeks.  Until now, Papa did not respond to inquiries about his condition.

 

Papa originally announced to viewers he had prostate cancer in April of 2004.  In January of 2006, he disclosed that the cancer returned. 

 

Papa, a native of Buffalo, New York, joined Channel 6 in 1981.
