Jamie Campbell missed World Series broadcasts for 'pre-skin cancer' treatment. Here's how he's doing

Sportsnet's Jamie Campbell has been a fixture on Toronto Blue Jays and Major League Baseball broadcasts for nearly two decades, but he was absent from World Series coverage earlier this month.

Fans found out why when Campbell posted a photo of his face on X, formerly known as Twitter, last week. Half of Campbell's face appeared red and inflamed in an image accompanying the post in which he revealed he was receiving treatment for "pre-skin cancer."

"It's been a bit of a life changing situation," Campbell told Day 6 host Brent Bambury. "I'm told [the treatment] is incredibly effective. It just leaves me looking like Freddy Krueger."

Campbell revealed in a subsequent post that he was told much of the damage to the skin on the left-side of his face came from driving.

"I know modern cars have windows that now sort of have UV protective shields, but for the longest time I was driving a 2010 model and never imagined that I'd be damaging the skin on the left side of my face."

This isn't the first public diagnosis or treatment related to cancer Campbell has shared. In 2021, he revealed he is living with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

He spoke to Bambury about how he's handling his diagnosis and why he feels it's important to go public with his preventative skin-cancer treatment. Here's part of that conversation.

Sure. Although I was joking with a few people, somebody came up to me on the street and
