WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart informed the world weeks ago that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Following the diagnoses Bret underwent surgery to have his prostate removed. The surgery was a success and Bret recently spoke to Joey Styles about how he’s feeling post-surgery. You can check out the full interview here on WWE.com and read some highlights below.
How he’s feeling now:
“I’m actually feeling pretty good. I’m still a little sore in the abdominal area where I have five puncture holes about the size of a pencil in my stomach that make it hard to sit up. The incision they made was pretty small, only an inch-and-a-half to two inches long. For the most part, as compared to other surgeries, you can get back on your feet pretty quick. I got the thumbs–up from my doctor that I should have a smooth and steady recovery for the next few months. I won’t be running any mountains, and I can’t lift anything over 10 pounds. All I can do is sit around. Thank God for WWE Network. I’ve been watching a lot of it.”
If he’s cancer free:
“Well, there’s always a chance it could come back, but it seems my cancer was contained within my prostate. I have to get checked every three months for the next couple of years, and eventually it will be once a year, and eventually, in 10 years, they’ll tell me that I’m cancer-free forever.”
