Jim Ross took to social media to share an encouraging update following his cancer surgery on his right hip.
His post on his X account expressed gratitude for the support he received, emphasising the positive outcome of the procedure. This development comes after Ross’s previous revelation about his skin cancer diagnosis in October 2021 and subsequent radiation treatments, amounting to over 20 sessions. Although Ross announced being cancer-free in December 2021, he has been undergoing further treatment for radiation-related wounds.
The successful cancer surgery marks another chapter in Jim Ross’s storied career and ongoing battle with the disease.
