Zack Ryder Reveals He Overcame Cancer Posted by Steve Carrier on 01/25/2013 at 11:25 AM
Zack Ryder reveals in the February 2013 issue of the WWE Magazine that while he was enrolled in high school, he overcame cancer.
When I was in high school, I had cancer. Its not something I talk about a lot because I dont want to turn it into a sympathy issue. To make a long story short, one summer I found a lump on my foot. It was a tumor and was removed, but a year later, the doctors found that it had returned in my lungs. They called the cancer a Synovial Sarcoma. The scars on my chest are from ports they inserted to put medicine into my body. It was scary. I had no white blood cells at one point, and my body couldnt fight off infection. It was brutal, and I missed an entire year of school, but Im completely healthy now, and Ive been cancer-free ever since.
