Football legend Randy Moss has cancer.
The NFL Hall of Famer revealed in an Instagram post Friday that he is battling cancer. Wearing a "Team Moss: Let's Moss Cancer" shirt with a lavender ribbon, a symbol of awareness for all types of cancers, the former star athlete proudly announced that he is a "cancer survivor" after undergoing surgery that kept him in the hospital for six days.
"Your boy is a cancer survivor," Moss said in the video with his two sons.
"Some trying times but you know, we made it through and for that, I thank you all."
The six-time Pro Bowler knew something was wrong when he noticed a change in the color of his urine. Doctors later found a cancerous tumor in his bile duct, between his pancreas and liver.
Moss will still undergo further treatment, including chemotherapy and radiation, but said he's already recovering from the disease, NBC News noted.
Moss, who was aided by a cane, thanked the people who helped him through his health battle--his doctors, family, friends, fans, and prayer warriors.
Earlier this month, the ESPN football analyst announced that he would take an "extended time off" his post to deal with "health challenges."
Known for “The Moss Effect,” the 14-year veteran wide receiver played for five NFL teams, including the Minnesota Vikings and the New England Patriots. A five-time NFL receiving touchdown leader and four-time First Team All-Pro, Moss is regarded as one of the best wide receivers of all time.
