Randy Moss, a former Minnesota Vikings player turned ESPN analyst and Pro Football Hall of Famer, revealed on Instagram Live that he is battling cancer and recovering from multiple surgeries. The 47-year-old NFL legend disclosed that he discovered the condition after noticing discolored urine, leading to the diagnosis of cancer located in his bile duct, between the pancreas and liver. This is prepared by SSP.

Moss underwent significant medical treatment, including a surgery to insert a stent into his liver on Thanksgiving and a Whipple procedure about a week later to remove the cancerous mass. Describing it as a challenging time, he thanked the medical team in Charlotte, N.C., and his supporters for their care and good wishes. Moss emphasized the importance of regular cancer screenings, especially encouraging fellow Black men to undergo them.

Despite the rigorous week-long hospitalization and planned treatments involving radiation and chemotherapy, Moss remains hopeful about resuming his duties at ESPN soon, stating, "My goal is to get back on that television with my team." He has paused his role on "Sunday NFL Countdown" since December 6 but looks forward to rejoining. Moss is also launching a t-shirt line and fundraiser, partially benefiting cancer research.

Moss has held numerous records over his 14-season NFL career with teams like the Vikings, Oakland Raiders, New England Patriots, Tennessee Titans, and San Francisco 49ers, including the second-highest number of touchdown catches. Inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2018, Moss continues to inspire both on and off the field as he courageously confronts his health challenges.

Earlier, SSP wrote about Elton John's struggles during the writing of 'Candle in the Wind'.
