"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan recently spoke with our friends at Wrestling Inc. to give his fans an update on his latest battle with prostate cancer.
During the discussion, the WWE Hall of Fame legend spoke about doctors catching the cancer early this time around, feeling lucky he does not have to do chemo therapy, as well as how he had his prostate removed last year.
Featured below are some of the highlights.
On how he had his prostate removed last year: “I had my prostate taken out last October and I thought hopefully that had taken care of everything, but I got another PSA test, found out that the cancer was still in me. I was very disappointed to say the least. I was really down for a little while but had to go back in and get radiation. I did eight weeks of radiation treatment, but came out, and rang the bell. I’m cancer-free, thank the Lord.”
On how lucky he is to not have to do chemo: “Thank goodness I didn’t have to do that. Chemo is so much worse than radiation. Radiation was almost like an X-ray. You hardly felt anything, you didn’t hear anything.”
On doctors catching the cancer early: “I know it’s a terrifying deal for me and my whole family when everybody hears that, but early detection can save your life. This is my second bout with very aggressive cancers and I’m here to talk about it. So, get your physical, folks.”
