Rebel Announces Cancer Diagnosis

An update from Rebel.

Taking to her personal Instagram page, 11-year wrestler Rebel provided an update on her health and revealed that she’s been diagnosed with cancer.

She stated that she has primary pulmonary lymphoma, which is cancer in the lungs. She is starting rehab on 11/17. Rebel shared that she also picked up functional neurological disorder, which has taken away her ability to walk. She now uses a walker, and she’s lost some of the function in her right hand.

Rebel is also dealing with a speech issue as a result of the disorder. She stated that she has a very serious infection and must clear that before the cancer is dealt with. She’ll hopefully be finished in December to determine the next steps.
