By Kevin Roderick | August 3, 2007 4:42 PM

Doctors treating Fishman for yesterday's collapse found colon cancer that has spread to his liver, according to KTLA interim news director Rich Goldner on the Times website. "Hal is awake and thanks everyone for their well wishes and says he is going to fight this illness," Goldner said. "He is looking forward to coming back when he gets better." He has anchored the Channel 5 news since 1975. LAT
