Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss, 47, announced Friday that he is undergoing treatment for cancer.
Moss said on Instagram Live that she was released from the hospital on Friday after spending six days receiving treatment for cancer found in the bile duct between her pancreas and liver.
An emotional Ms Moss called herself a “cancer survivor” and thanked “prayer warriors” for their support.
Earlier this month, Moss took a brief break from commentating for ESPN to “focus on personal health issues.”
Moss revealed that on Thanksgiving Day, she underwent surgery to have a stent placed in her liver after experiencing discolored urine. He also revealed that he underwent a six-hour surgery to remove cancer about a week ago, adding that he will now undergo chemotherapy and radiation treatment.
“I’m a cancer survivor. There were definitely some difficult times, but we made it through.”
Great to hear, @RandyMoss. Please keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers as you complete your treatment 🙏💜💛

The six-time Pro Bowler made it his mission to return to work at ESPN.
“As soon as I’m healthy enough to be back with everyone, I’ll be on set. …I hope to be able to be with you all soon,” Moss said.
“My goal is to get back on TV with my team.”
The NFL legend played 14 seasons in the league, most notably with the Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots.
He is considered one of the greatest wide receivers in the history of the sport, making first-team All-Pro four times and leading the NFL in touchdowns with five. During his illustrious career, Moss recorded 15,292 receiving yards and 156 touchdowns.
Wearing a Team Moss sweatshirt with “Let’s Go Moss for Cancer” written on the front, Moss said he sells apparel and donates most of the proceeds to cancer research.
