Jim Ross Provides Update On His Health Following Cancer Radiation Treatment

Jim Ross recently underwent extensive radiation treatment for skin cancer which he revealed last month he had beaten.

During the latest episode of ā€œGrilling JRā€ on AdFreeShows.com, the WWE Hall of Famer provided an update on his health:Ā 

ā€œHereā€™s the interesting part for me to try to heal was this just doesnā€™t heal quickly,ā€ Ross said. ā€œItā€™s in a part of your body that has no fat on your ankleā€¦and itā€™s just got to take some timeā€¦I say itā€™s like a bad sunburn [but] itā€™s really at another level. Itā€™s the best way to explain this radiation burns, thatā€™s what it is because all the skin is gone now. So itā€™s all new skin. That means itā€™s more exposed to the nerves. So itā€™s a b*tch in that respect. But it is getting better and a lot of that old skin is gone and and new skin is starting to mature. So itā€™s just what it is, you know, and I kind of get used to it. Thank God for these creams that they gave me at the cancer clinic. So I use that three or four times a day to help heal the damn thing. But Iā€™m going to make it fine.ā€

ā€œI have had to tolerate a lot of pain and flying is the sh*ts. We all got to be careful. When I go get on a plane Iā€™ll make sure I got plenty of [cream] on my burn and I have it wrapped and protected. But boy, itā€™s a pain in the ass to fly, Iā€™ll tell you. You know what Iā€™ve been doing? People are gonna probably laugh at me and someone seen me go through the airport. Iā€™ve been ordering a wheelchair. Walking is a killer, it just kills it. So Iā€™ve been getting the wheelchair at the airport on both ends. So they picked me up, my driver picks me up here at home and takes him to the airport where I meet the wheelchair guy who now Iā€™ve become buddies with. Theyā€™re all fans. They all like my $10 and $20 tips. So Iā€™m very popular when they see me coming. Because I think most of the old people that have wheelchairs are tipping them like in ones or something into that denomination. So thatā€™s taken a load off of me. So when I get off the plane, and weā€™re going like, this week, as we tape this, itā€™ll be Washington DC, which has very, very strict COVID rules and regulations. So thatā€™s helped me a lot I feel. When I first did it (using a wheelchair), I guess my ego was getting involved. I didnā€™t want people staring at me because Iā€™m sailing though the airport in the wheelchair in that f**king black hat.ā€

ā€œSo itā€™s nice if people pay attention. This ankle thing is not a work. Iā€™m really am in this bad way. But Iā€™m on my way to work at eight oā€™clock tonight. As we were speaking on Wednesday. Iā€™m ready to kick ass. Thatā€™s great medicine for me, quite frankly. It may sound corny, but itā€™s a great medicine for me to because once I get there, and we start going over the show and getting ready to go on the air, it takes my mind off how much Iā€™m hurting. I have medication and sometimes I get a shot. I got to do what it takes me to get on the air. I feel some obligation to the folks who watch the show. They donā€™t want me to half ass it [and come across like itā€™s] something Iā€™m not ready to do or I donā€™t care about or Iā€™m distracted.ā€

We wish Jim Ross all the best in his recovery.
