SAN FRANCISCO — Kruk and Kuip plan to call their final game together on Sept. 27, but the road to get there won’t be easy. A few weeks after Mike Krukow announced that this will be his final season , Duane Kuiper revealed Sunday that he has been diagnosed with throat cancer. Kuiper is getting treatment and will miss some upcoming games, but he plans to be in the booth next weekend with Krukow for their final series together. “I was recently diagnosed with throat cancer and began treatment last week with my doctors at Stanford Medicine,” Kuiper said in a statement released by the Giants. “This cancer is unrelated to the one I experienced five years ago, and I’m optimistic that it will be successfully treated. I’ll miss the broadcasts tomorrow and Wednesday as I continue treatment, but I’m looking forward to returning Tuesday and this weekend to celebrate my partner, Mike Krukow, and his remarkable career as he calls his final game before retirement. I’m incredibly grateful for the care
