Randy Moss Faces Cancer Treatment: Chemotherapy & Radiation

Randy Moss, the legendary former NFL wide receiver and current broadcaster, recently shared his health battle with fans during an Instagram live video. "Your boy is a cancer survivor," Moss announced, revealing that he had been in the hospital for six days but was now recovering. He expressed deep gratitude to God, his doctors, his family, and his fans for their support throughout the difficult period.

Moss explained that his cancer was found in the bile duct, located between the pancreas and liver. The cancer was near the bile duct, and he underwent a six-hour Whipple procedure to remove the tumors. The Whipple procedure involves the removal of parts of the pancreas, small intestine, gallbladder, and bile duct, according to the Mayo Clinic. He also revealed that he had a stent inserted in his liver on Thanksgiving.

Despite the seriousness of the situation, Moss remained positive and determined to return to his work at ESPN. He acknowledged the severity of his diagnosis, sharing that it was unexpected, given his previously healthy condition. He also mentioned that he would continue treatment through chemotherapy and radiation. Moss's goal is to return to television with his team when he is able.

Earlier, Moss had hinted at ongoing health issues that affected his vision, which led him to wear sunglasses during his appearance on Sunday NFL Countdown on December 1. "I have some great doctors around me, but if you see me with these glasses, it's not disrespect," Moss explained, noting he needed prayer and support from his fans during this difficult time.

ESPN announced Moss's temporary departure from broadcasting on December 6, stating that he would take an extended leave to focus on his health. The network praised Moss for his contributions to the show over nearly a decade and expressed full support for his recovery. They look forward to his return when he is ready.
