This weekend, it was reported that wrestling legend Jake “The Snake” Roberts had cancer in the form of a tumor growing behind his knee and an emergency procedure was required to remove the growth.
Roberts’ surgery was scheduled earlier today on Tuesday February 25 and shortly afterward, he took to Twitter to update fans on his status after surgery:
Surgery went well & feeling good. Won't know if the growth is all removed or spread until tests come back. Doc optimistic and so am I.

Roberts has made sure to keep his fans in the loop about his status and even issued a statement yesterday to thank them for all of their support during this tough time:
“Thank for for all of the support and well wishes about my procedure tomorrow. The doctors are optimistic that the growth is contained and tomorrow’s removal should take care of the problem. However, we will not know for sure until it is taken out and further tests are done. I am fine and just as optimistic as the doctors. Did my DDP Yoga this morning and looking forward to all of my upcoming appearances with the fans. I will keep you posted but no need to worry about the Snake.”
Jake “The Snake” Roberts has so much left to give to the professional wrestling business and to this world. All of us remain hopeful that Roberts wins this fight against cancer.
