The legendary former wide receiver Randy Moss revealed on Friday that he is battling cancer.
In an Instagram Live video, Moss, 47, stated that he is a cancer survivor and that cancer was found in the bile duct, which is located between the liver and pancreas.
After six days in the hospital following surgery, Moss said he was discharged on Friday. In the video, his two sons accompanied him as he walked with a cane.
Moss remarked, “Your boy is a cancer survivor,” “Of course, there are difficult periods. However, we survived, and I’m grateful to everyone for that.”
Although he still needs to go through radiation and chemotherapy, Moss says he is getting better.
Moss thanked the “prayer warriors” who have been thinking about him, his family, his coworkers at ESPN, where he works as a football pundit, and the physicians and medical personnel in the video.
“I truly sensed all of the well wishes and prayers. That’s how my family felt,” he stated.
“All you little Moss fans out there, I thank you,” he remarked, acknowledging that some of the people who sent him well wishes were kids. May you be blessed. It had a significant impact.
Moss said earlier this month that he will be taking a long leave of absence from his position at ESPN due to a personal health issue.Moss originally revealed that he is dealing with an undisclosed medical condition on the Sunday NFL Countdown set, and he advised guys to be especially mindful of health checkups.
Moss referred viewers to his website during his announcement on Friday, where he will be offering cancer-related goods for sale. According to Moss, the majority of the money raised will support cancer research.
Moss used “Let’s Moss Cancer,” a phrase he also shared on the social media site X.
As a tribute to the gifted wide receiver, the verb “moss” was created. It describes when a player crushes the defense and makes a fantastic catch, as Moss did during his career, and has grown in popularity among football fans and commentators.
Moss’ most well-known tenure was with the Minnesota Vikings, who selected him with the 21st choice in the 1998 NFL Draft. He played for the San Francisco 49ers and the New England Patriots in Super Bowls.
In 2018, he was admitted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
He has 156 touchdown catches, which is second only to Jerry Rice’s 197. With 15,292 yards, Moss is fourth in the NFL for receiving yards.
