WWE Hall of Famer and current AEW commentator Jim Ross had provided another update on his recent skin cancer diagnosis on the latest episode of his Grillin JR podcast.
Ross reveals doctors found more skin cancer on his back, which he is going to have treated in addition to his ankle.
Here is what he said:
"I donāt like dealing with this skin cancer, but thatās the hand Iāve been dealt. The only thing I can do is to get healthy and go through all the procedures to ensure that can happen. On the 22nd of November, the doctor found two more places on my back and heās going to cut those out in one appointment, then earlier in the day Iāll have gone to my cancer doctor and they have to build a boot for me to do the radiation accurately which Iām all for. Itās two different processes, one is my back which I didnāt even know I had and the other is that big one on my ankle. Ironically the one on my ankle is healing up real well. You can still see that thereās an issue but it doesnāt look as gross and as gruesome as I displayed in that picture which I wish I had not done quite honestly. I do believe in sharing with the fans and maybe to a faulting degree. Iāve got a big month of November, itās going to be an aggressive month."
"I wanted to make sure I can still do my stuff. Iāll know more about that after November 22, if I canāt Iāve got to put my health first. I think thatās the right thing to do, ego wise people say āAre you worried about getting replaced?ā hell no. I work for Tony Khan, I work for a different man than what I worked for in the past. He has been nothing but amazing in this whole process to the point of whatever you need weāll take care of you, whatever you need to do to get you healthy again weāre ready to take every step of the way with you. The irony of this is that unlike a lot of wrestling bosses, I believe him, I trust him. I canāt tell you how much that takes a load off your chest where I can go back and focus on the business that I love which is pro wrestling. Itās just a battle you got to fight man and I donāt need nobody feeling sorry. I donāt need a GoFund me page, any of that stuff thank god. Iām damn sure going to fight this with everything Iāve got and get through these radiation treatments and hopefully just move on about my business. It may be time. Real good because I know weāre going to TBS in January and Iād really like to be good to go by January and back in the announce booth. I may not miss any shows at all, I donāt know yet and if somebody canāt figure that out, well the deal is Iāve never had radiation. I got to figure out how Iām going to feel. If I canāt do my work to the level that I am comfortable with, thereās no way in hell Iām going to force that on the fans. When I get full of piss and vinegar, watch out."
