Bryan Robson says he thought the cancerous tumour he had now had removed was just a sore throat.
The former England captain and Manchester United legend, now coach of Thailand, was told by doctors he had the disease and had surgery just 48 hours later.
Robson, 54 will start a course of radiation but is confident of a full recovery. He said: ‘I thought I just had a sore throat. I went to see a doctor who diagnosed it straight away. I had MRI tests and I was operated on two days later.
‘I had the tumour, which was cancerous, removed from my throat. I am in England for a week to get a second opinion from a specialist but I am confident when I go back to Thailand I should be okay in a couple of months.
‘I am starting a five-week radiation course when I return next week. They are very confident that it is treatable and that I will make a full recovery.
‘I have had fantastic response from fans everywhere which has been a great boost. You have to be positive and get on with it. I’m in the best hands.’
Robson is set to start a five-week course of treatment next week.
He told talkSPORT: '[The doctors have] been very positive with what they've been telling me.
'I'm over in England for a week and I'll get a second opinion from a specialist here, but I am quite confident about going back out there and receiving the treatment.
'Fingers crossed everything will be clear within a couple of months.
'When I return to Thailand next week I'll start on a five-week course of radium treatment and just keep my fingers crossed. They are very good over there on the medical side and they're very confident that it's treatable and I should make a recovery.'
