NFL legend Randy Moss is currently recovering from surgery to treat cancer.
On Friday (Dec. 13), Moss took to Instagram Live to share the latest update on his health. The caption read “Let’s Moss Cancer” meaning he plans to come out victorious in his fight.
“I’ve told you all over the last couple of weeks about me battling something internally and your boy is a cancer survivor,” Moss said in an Instagram livestream.
“So I did have cancer,” he continued. “They found it in the bile duct right between the pancreas and the liver, and that the cancer was sitting right outside the bile duct.”
Moss went on to thank his medical team for their care.
“It was a trying week, a trying time. So once again, I thank you all,” he said. “Thank you and your team for nursing me back to health and getting me back here with my family.”
He then gave a shout-out to his teammates on Sunday NFL Countdown.
“As soon as I get healthy to get back out with guys, I will be on set,” Moss explained. “Hopefully I can be with you guys soon.”
Moss assured fans that his condition is improving every day.
“By the grace of God, my liver started acting up,” he said. “I didn’t think I would ever be in a position like this, as healthy as I thought I was.”
After Moss addressed speculation about his health, ESPN announced that the Hall of Famer would be taking “extended time” to deal with “a personal health challenge.”
The network released a statement detailing Moss’ hiatus.
“Pro Football Hall of Famer Randy Moss will step away from” his Sunday morning pregame show in order “to focus on a personal health challenge,” the statement read.
.“For nearly a decade, Randy has been an invaluable member of the team,” the statement continued. “He has ESPN’s full support, and we look forward to welcoming him back when he is ready.”
