Back in early May, KARE 11 reporter and “Land of 10,000 Stories” host Boyd Huppert saw his doctor for a checkup two years after he successfully underwent a bone marrow transplant in his ongoing fight against multiple myeloma. He wasn’t prepared for what happened next.

“To quote my doctor, ‘Your cancer is on the move again,’ ” Huppert said. “She gave me a brochure and said, ‘Here’s the bad news, here’s what we’re going to do about it.’

“I was surprised because I had been feeling great. But bone marrow biopsies don’t lie. We’re back in the fight again.”

Huppert said he still felt great Friday as he was on his way to Omaha to spend the weekend with his granddaughter Tess, who was born on St. Patrick’s Day a month before his 2022 transplant. He said he feels no physical symptoms from the cancer and wouldn’t know it had returned if not for the biopsy.

When he gets back home next week, Huppert will undergo a cutting-edge new treatment that he noted wasn’t even FDA approved for multiple myeloma when he was first diagnosed with the relatively rare blood cancer in September 2021.

CAR T-cell therapy involves removing healthy T-cells, which doctors did in June, and re-engineering them in a lab, adding a protein that turns the cells into cancer fighters. Huppert is about to undergo new rounds of chemotherapy to kill off the T-cells left in his body, which will then be replaced by his own, newly supercharged ones.

“I can’t even begin to figure out how anyone came up with this,” he said with a laugh. “It’s amazing. Once I get the cells back, they immediately go to work attacking the cancer. This is new to me, I’d never heard of this before. All my doctors say this is the future of fighting cancer, particularly blood cancers at this time, but research is being done to target tumors as well.”

Once the new T-cells are back in his body, Huppert will spend seven to 10 days in the hospital. “There can be some not so great side effects and they want to keep a close eye on me,” he said.

After that, he’ll return to his home in Edina and spend 30 days in isolation, much like he did after his bone marrow transplant. As was the case in 2022, six weeks after his latest procedure, he hopes to be back to work reporting “Land of 10,000 Stories,” his ongoing series of off-the-beaten path feature stories that has won Huppert nearly every broadcast award imaginable, including almost 140 regional Emmys and two dozen national Edward R. Murrow awards.

Ever the workhorse, Huppert has no plans to retire and, indeed, just signed a new contract with KARE. If things go as planned, he’ll maintain a presence on the air while he’s recuperating.

“I’ve got six stories in the can that we’ve been putting away since early May,” he said “I think I have pieces scheduled through Labor Day. With any luck, I’ll be back to work after that.”

PARIS (AP) — Simon Biles will again be one of the highlights of the 2024 Olympics on Saturday as she tries to win the vault event for her third gold medal in Paris.

Sha’Carri Richardson will go for her first Olympic medal in the women’s 100 meters, while in the pool Katie Ledecky will look to add another gold to her collection in the women’s 800-meter freestyle.

The U.S. women’s soccer team will be in action as well, taking on Japan, as will the U.S. men’s basketball team against Puerto Rico.

See the full schedule of events and read more on what to watch below:

Simone Biles back in action

After winning gold in the individual all-around and helping the U.S. dominant in team all-around to burnish her legacy, Biles will go for a third gold this Games in the vault final.

Biles is among the favorites again but should face a tough challenge from Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade, the defending Olympic champion in the event.

Medal for Sha’Carri Richardson?

Richardson missed the Tokyo Games because of a positive marijuana test at the 2021 U.S. Olympic Trials but now will get her chance to win a medal in the women’s 100 meters.

Richardson is the reigning world champion in the event, which could also include three-time Olympic gold medalist Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce of Jamaica.

Tokyo gold medalist Elaine Thompson-Herah is absent at the Paris Games through injury, while Jamaica teammate Shericka Jackson announced that she would not compete in the event.

Katie Ledecky seeks another gold

With a victory in the women’s 800-meter freestyle, Ledecky would join fellow American Michael Phelps as the only swimmers — of any gender and from any country — to win four gold medals in the same event.

Ledecky will be an overwhelming favorite. She is the world record holder at the distance with a time of 8:04.79.

Boxing controversy

Anna Luca Hamori of Hungary plans to fight in the quarterfinals against Imane Khelif of Algeria in women’s boxing, even though the Hungarian Boxing Association said it was sending letters of protest to both the International Olympic Committee and Hungary’s Olympic committee.

Khelif and Taiwan boxer Lin Yu-ting were disqualified from the 2023 world championships after they had already competed. The IBA ruled that Khelif and Lin failed unspecified gender eligibility tests but provided no documentation. Each fighter had competed in IBA events for several years.

US women’s soccer in quarterfinals

The U.S. will take on Japan in the quarterfinals of women’s soccer.

The Americans won all three group-stage games for the first time since 2012 to finish atop Group B. Japan, the 2012 Olympic silver medalists, won Group C. The U.S. won the gold in 2012.

In the other women’s quarterfinals, France will face Brazil, Spain will play against Colombia and Canada will take on Germany. Canada advanced out of group play despite being docked six standings points for a drone scandal that has rocked the program.

US men’s hoops on the court

The United States men’s basketball team goes for its third consecutive victory when it faces winless Puerto Rico.

It will be the final group-stage game for the U.S., which is seeking the top seed ahead of the knockout rounds.

Women’s tennis finals

Either China or Croatia will earn its first singles gold medal in Olympic tennis with Zheng Qinwen playing Donna Vekic in women’s final.

This would be the biggest title for both players as neither Zheng nor Vekic has won Grand Slam.
