FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) — The Fort Wayne-South Bend Catholic Diocese says its retired bishop has been diagnosed with cancer for a second time.
The diocese says 80-year-old Bishop Emeritus John D'Arcy (DAHR'-see) was diagnosed after he came down with nausea and a severe headache while in Boston for the holidays visiting family and friends.
D'Arcy was treated for prostate cancer in 2011, but diocese spokesman Sean McBride tells The Journal Gazette (http://bit.ly/Uk1rEr ) he couldn't disclose what type of cancer D'Arcy now has.
D'Arcy retired in 2010 after 24 years leading the diocese when he was succeeded by Bishop Kevin Rhoades. D'Arcy continues serving as a chaplain at Bishop Luers High School and other church activities.
McBride says D'Arcy expects to spend three weeks receiving outpatient treatment in Boston before returning to Fort Wayne.
