Bret Hart Shares His Experience With Cancer During Interview With WWE.com

A few weeks ago, WWE Hall of Famer Bret “Hitman” Hart announced that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Fortunately, shortly after it was announced that Hart had undergone surgery to remove his prostate and the cancer with it.

Now, he has done an exclusive interview with WWE.com detailing the experiences he had with his cancer and how he is feeling today. You can read the full interview right here or read the highlights below:

How are you feeling right 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.

 

 

Did you have any major concerns?

There can be a lot of complications, but I put all my faith in my doctors. They are getting better and better at this surgery all the time, and I chose the robotic surgery where the surgeon works through a computer and very carefully removes your prostate while sparing as many nerves as possible. Once they remove the prostate, which for most men is the size of a ping pong ball, they have to sew everything together.
