WWE fans learned the news of “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan’s cancer diagnosis this week. After having emergency surgery last week, Duggan went to social media to announce that he has been dealing with prostate cancer and will have surgery on Friday.
“Hi folks. You know, Debra and I, we always share the good times with you, but today we got to share some bad times,” Duggan said in the video. “I’ve been diagnosed with prostate cancer, and I’m having my surgery tomorrow. Actually, it’s been going on for a couple of months now, and Debra and I have been living with it and getting ready. But reality is here, and I’m going down to Charleston tomorrow to have my cancer surgery.
