LSU's Cam Cameron treated for prostate cancer, will continue coaching in 2015

LSU offensive coordinator Cam Cameron told the media on Friday that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, but has been given a clean bill of health after treatment.

The news of his diagnosis was first reported by The Advocate's Ross Dellenger and Scott Rabalais.

"I appreciate the concern. My health is good," Cameron said. "I've been involved throughout training camp and I'm looking forward to the season."

Entering his third season as the Tigers' offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, the 54-year-old will remain in the position and coach for the 2015 season.

Cameron was reportedly diagnosed and treated for stage 2 melanoma as a 28-year-old, while he was a coach at Michigan.

He led an illustrious career before landing with the Tigers. After coaching the Wolverines, he worked for the Washington Redskins, Indiana, the San Diego Chargers, Miami Dolphins, and the Baltimore Ravens.

"These last few weeks, the support from this program, I've never experienced anything quite like it," continued Cameron.

"I appreciate your concern and we are good. We are ready to roll and all of our goals are still intact."

LSU kicks off the season against McNeese State on Sept. 5.
