The football community has rallied NFL legend Randy Moss after the former wide receiver announced his cancer diagnosis during an Instagram livestream Friday.
Moss said he spent six days in the hospital undergoing surgery. The former Minnesota Vikings and the New England Patriots wide receiver said doctors found cancer in his bile duct, “right between the pancreas and the liver.”
“I’m a cancer survivor,” Moss said. “It was some tough times, but we got through it.”
