Warren Buffett said in a letter to shareholders on Tuesday that he has been diagnosed with stage 1 prostate cancer. The 81-year-old billionaire investor and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-A) said the situation wasn't life threatening, but he would let shareholders know if it deteriorated.
Buffett said "the good news" is that doctors have indicated his condition isn't "remotely life threatening or even debilitating in any meaningful way." He went on to say he would let shareholders know immediately should his health situation change. "Eventually, of course, it will; but I believe that day is a long way off," he said.
Warren Buffett and his wife Astrid Menks arrive for a State Dinner on March 14, 2012. …According to the National Cancer Institute, the five-year survival rate for those diagnosed with prostate cancer that's localized is 100%.
