I read he had double pneumonia, where's the mass on the brain info from? the original news report from Wrestling Inc that's in the OP Oh. Good call. I didn't read the whole thing thoroughly, just skimmed it since I read the story elsewhere without the mass on his brain stuff.

I'm no expert on cancer, but can it spread from the knee skin to the brain without affecting anywhere inbetween? (As far as we know, it's not affected anywhere inbetween.) I'd figure it would at least go to some of the torso organs first. Or "spread" could be the wrong word and it could be unrelated to the skin cancer he had beforehand.
Someone with more knowledge on the subject, please clarify/correct me if needed.

Just another skin for the Snake to shed.
Get well soon, brother.

He appeared at an HOW show this past Saturday up here (the show was in northern Wisconsin) that the wife and I went to. He did not look good. Roddy Piper did a Piper's Pit segment in the ring with Jake as his guest. Jake had a hard time climbing into the ring. The interview was interrupted by area talent Mitch Paradise and it led to Jake DDTing him...which was hard to watch. It sort of seemed like something was wrong with his legs. After the show was over we sort of hung around the ring, say back with a couple of beers and watched a long line of people meeting and getting autographs and pics from Piper. It was just fun and nice watching Piper be super nice to everyone. At one point Jake came out and just wandered around with a big grin on his face, shook a couple of hands, and turned around and went back stage after like 2 minutes. It was odd. Hope everything ends up OK, but as of a few days ago he looked rough. based on that it sounds like maybe a pulminary embolism which in this case would be the mass in his brain and be good news as they caught it in time but I have a bad feeling about this one as in the dreaded C word

I wanted to post a bible passage about strength during tough times. I'm not really a spiritual guy. I didn't want to violate the rules. I'm thinking about Jake Roberts tonight. He is one of my all time favorites. So instead, I'm going to imagine the Snake quoting scripture during a haunting promo. It makes me smile. You can go ahead and quote it if you'd like. Very well then. From Psalms: Psalm 18:32-34 the God who equipped me with strength and made my way blameless. He made my feet like the feet of a deer and set me secure on the heights. He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

A google search showed that apparently, skin cancer is one of the types of cancer that can lead to brain cancer, but I never had a chance to read further.

Between this and Warrior, I wonder if the "era of forgiveness" is actually some clandestine movement for Vince to secretly curse his enemies? Someone look out for Bruno please!!!
Seriously, I met Jake at an indy show earlier in the year and he was pretty cool. Hope he'll be OK, do not want to see wrestling take another major blow too.

Without knowing what specific type of skin cancer it was (squamous cell, basal cell, or melanoma, though I don't think it was melanoma) it's hard to say, but yes, skin cancer can metastasize to the brain. This doesn't sound like that, this sounds more like an aneurysm or again, CTE. It depends on whether it's localized or not.

Didn't someone bring Scott Hall to a ring when he was at his worst? Wrestlers health is more important than promoters getting what they paid for.

Jake is just DDTing any type of negativity that is coming his way. Great news.

Jake has overcome so much already. I hope he overcomes this as well.

I have the flier for that show from when I went to Raw. Poor Jake must not have wanted to pull out of Kizarny's show even at his own expense.
