Don West beat this. When you do I want to buy you a drink at the Hotel bar "That drink better be for the low low price of $9.99!"

Hopefully they caught it early enough. Lymphoma has a really good survival rate if they did even if node is near the brain.

I loved Don West in the early years of TNA. He brought so much enthusiasm and worked great with Mike Tenay.
Here's to hoping to a quick and successful recovery for him.

Hoping for the best. He reminded me of the old time color commentators in the territories that were radio djs or other bombastic hosts in their day jobs. Always seemed like a nice man and full of energy.

A damn shame. On another forum I was one of the few to unironically be a fan of Don. He brought energy in his announcing, & seemed to enjoy being a heel in 2008. Wishing him the best.

Only just read about this. Such a shame, It always happens to the good ones it seems. Don’s enthusiasm was infectious, and he really did make those early days of TNA seem bigger than they were. Looks like a GoFundMe has been set up for him. Figured I’d help signal boost it here in case anybody wanted to donate to it: www.gofundme.com/f/mj9wnu-join-the-don-west-tag-team-against-lymphoma

It's made it to over 18k and is almost at the goal, just got a $5000 donation that really helped.

I hope and pray this continues for him. There are so many people who have cancer, they do chemo and are in remission and a year or two later the cancer reappears and they go through the same thing and it doesn't work. God please bless Don and his family.
