Former Marshall U WR and NFL Great Randy Moss diagnosed with liver cancer

There seems to be some conflicting info about this. I read somewhere where people said that Moss started wearing sunglasses to hide the jaundice in his eyes. I hope this isn’t true.

The word elite is thown around very loosely these days but Moss was the very definition of an elite player. Praying.

Looks like, from what he said, the cancer was/is outside of his bile duct, between his liver and pancreas.

Not sure whether that gives it a designation of liver cancer, (small) intestinal cancer, or pancreatic cancer (the last of which can be just…really, really bad).

This is not good at all. If it’s bile duct, or anything in that area, it generally has a worse prognosis than only cancer of the liver. My grandmother died of bile duct, as did a young guy who is friends with my husband….quickly. My grandmother lived about 4 years and was considered anomalous, given her age. I have Stage IV breast cancer and I am personally terrified of bile duct. It’s something they watch on my scans. Cancer is a funny disease though. You never know what it’s going to do or how it’s going to evolve, or whether it will become “dormant” for a time.

I had 2 of my best friends pass in the last couple years. One had bile duct cancer. Went to the hospital thinking he might have a kidney stone and found out. He fought for a couple years before it took him. Another friend had colon cancer that spread to his liver. He passed away a year ago. I was diagnosed with cancer last October and have been battling myself. It doesn’t care who you are.

I appreciate it. I posted it in the end zone forum awhile back but I have a pretty rare form of lymphoma. Last year this time was bad but I’ve been responding to treatment the past few months. Still not out of the woods but better than what I was.

Good news that you are responding to the treatments. I’ve been on my first line of treatment since 2021 and it’s been “sleeping” since then. My spots are still there, but not active. I had early stage in 2006, but in a surprise turn of events it stunned everyone and came back 3 years ago on my spine and other bones. Found it on a routine MRI for scoliosis that’s caused a bulging disk. Boom! There it was. Little breast cancer spots lit my back up like a Christmas tree. I had been declared effectively cured in 2019.

I’m now 45. An ex athlete (for UT) and am/was healthy as a horse…well, other than the cancer bit. No history of breast cancer in my family- just the bile duct. You’re right. Cancer does not care. It is insidious.

One of our dear friends just died of colon cancer as well. They found it too late and he died within the year. It’s everywhere, it seems, esp in my age bracket right now.

I had a pet scan Monday and everything was still trending in the right direction. I was initially on chemo that saved my life then I stopped responding and they ruled my cancer was progressing. My oncologist got with another doctor in the area and we moved to immunotherapy and there was drastic reduction in no time. Next step is an auto transplant where they take my stem cells, hit me with a some aggressive chemo, then reintroduce my stem cells. Anyway I’m thankful to still be here. It’s weird I see people I haven’t seen in years when I go for a checkup or for an infusion. I’ll keep you in my prayers.
