In Late October Jim Duggan and his wife took to Instagram to announce he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. The first-ever Royal Rumble winner confirmed he would be undergoing surgery for treatment.
Duggan was rushed to the hospital in October emergency surgery and confirmed he’s been dealing with cancer for several months. He promised fans that his wife Debra would be keeping them updated on his condition as she had previously done, then thanked everyone for their support thus far.
well, yesterday Hacksaw posted a video to his social media accounts thanking fans for the support. He says he’s feeling better. While he had to cancel his remaining 2021 bookings, Duggan hope to get back out on the road in 2022.
“Hi everybody, I’d just like to give everybody a quick update after my back-to-back surgeries. Obviously I’m home, doing well, feeling much, much better, and I wanted to say thank you to everyone for the thoughts, the prayers, the good wishes.
You know, it’s humbling to have so many people all over the world care. I’ll tell you, it means a lot. From the bottom of my heart, I want to say thank you so much to so many folks for checking in on me. I’d also like to say I’m sorry and I hope you all understand that I’m going to have to cancel the rest of the shows for this year, but we’re looking forward to traveling the world next year, God willing, and so hopefully we’ll see you down the road.
Again, thank you very much for all the good wishes and prayers. God bless, and hopefully see you soon.”
It is great to hear HackSaw is feeling better as most fans know he has been dealing with serious health issues over the past year. We here at Bodyslam.net send our prayers and well wishes to Jim Duggan.
