A former WCW wrestler turned actor has announced that he has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Tyler Mane, who was a professional wrestler previously competed in the likes of New Japan Pro Wrestling, WCW, CMLL, AJPW and more before turning to a career in acting where he would feature in projects such as X-Men, Rob Zombie’s remake of Halloween, Deadpool and Wolverine and more. Mane would wrestle under several ring names over the years, including ‘Big Sky’ and more.
In a new video posted to social media on Monday, Tyler Mane confirmed that he would be starting chemo soon for a breast cancer diagnosis.
“Yep. I have breast cancer. And yep, it’s super rare. Only 1% of breast cancers are men. I’ll be honest, my first reaction was to keep it secret. I mean it’s kind of embarrassing. But then I found out that men are more likely to be diagnosed in advance stages BECAUSE it’s not talked about and not looked for. In fact, my doctors all dismissed it and it was only because my wife pushed me to get the lump removed that I got in early. So let’s start talking about it! 1 in 755 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime and if caught early, it’s VERY treatable. Time to answer the Wake Up Call! Like, Save, Share, Comment let’s spread the word!”
All at Fightful wish Mane the best in his treatment and fight against breast cancer.
