John “Earthquake” Tenta had a tumor that did not respond to radiation and has moved elsewhere. He is getting more chemo.
On his message boards, he posted the following:
“I’ve been very busy. My last scan results were very disappointing. Despite being on chemo, the tumors in my hip, and both lungs continued to grow. The doctor is starting me on new chemo this Monday. It is a new combination, of chemo I’ve already had. The doctor says it has a one in ten chance of working. If that doesn’t work, I will try experimental drugs. If nothing works, I have a life expectancy of six months to a year.”
Additionally, female wrestler Penny Bannar had surgery in November for cancer.
We with both Tenta and Bannar, as well as their families, the best in these difficult times.
