Maria Kanellis-Bennet has provided an update on her current status.
Earlier in the month, Kanellis posted a message on social media that a mass had been found on her adrenal gland or kidney and was looking to meet with a surgeon to discuss the next steps. A follow-up post stated that it was inconclusive whether or not the mass was cancerous:
So here is the update. Yes it is a mass on my adrenal gland. Next step is meeting with an endocrinologist surgeon. It’s inconclusive at this point, if it is cancer. In other news, I ate French fries and a concrete mixer and I feel a little better.
Issuing an update on social media on July 30th, Kannellis stated that she would be having a retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy carried out in September and the mass would be biopsied afterwards as a straight biopsy is not a possibility:
I went to my doctor’s appointment today at Rush. The next steps are blood work and a possible 24 hour urine test. From there I will be scheduling surgery for most likely some time in September. The mass I have is borderline what they get concerned about and biopsy is not an option. I will be having a retroperitoneoscopic andrenalectomy and they will biopsy the mass after.
Maria Kanellis-Bennett To Undergo Surgery
A posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy [PRA] is a minimally invasive surgery that targets the adrenal glands, removing the gland either in its entirety or just the mass.
Kanellis recently made appearances on the ROH Death Before Dishonor pre-show and at AEW Battle of the Belts. At the ROH show, Kanellis congratulated former WWE stars Maximum Male Models [now known as MxM Collection] on their victory.
Everyone at Inside The Ropes sends their best wishes to Maria Kanellis-Bennett.
