Randy Moss: "I am a cancer survivor"

Hall of Fame receiver Randy Moss has announced that he is a "cancer survivor."

In a Friday afternoon Instagram Live session, Moss disclosed that he had a six-hour surgery six days ago for bile duct cancer. He said he had a Whipple procedure, and that the cancer was just outside the bile duct, between the pancreas and the liver.

Moss, who moved slowly but was in very good spirits, said he'll now have chemotherapy and radiation.

The recent surgery followed a 2.5-hour procedure on Thanksgiving to put a stent in his liver.

Moss urged everyone to undergo regular screening. "By the grace of God, my liver started acting up," Moss said. He had discolored urine, and the diagnostic procedures eventually disclosed the cancer.

Moss has gear available at his personal website, with proceeds going to cancer research.

He's currently on an extended leave of absence from ESPN. He fully intends to return.

"My goal is to get back on that television with my team," Moss said.

Our goal is to see that happen. Best wishes to one of the all-time greats, who is now using his platform to inspire others to get themselves properly evaluated for any an all illnesses that, if caught early, can be cured.
