In the video, Duggan stated, “Then I still have to have radiation because Cancer is still in me. So I’m sitting here feeling sorry for myself. But then I look into the mirror and the man in a mirror looking back hard at me.”
“Duggan, pull your head out, stand up straight and god bless that you only have six more weeks of radiation. Look around, you gotta lot better than a lot of other people, god bless. So Hacksaw, pull your head out and I’m gonna do it.”
In terms of his health, Duggan hasn’t been in great condition lately. He lost a kidney due to kidney cancer. Then, only three years prior, he experienced all the cardiac issues and spent time in the Intensive Care Unit. Hacksaw is obviously motivating himself in the video as he gets ready for the upcoming radiation treatment.
Under his Instagram post, fans left a lot of encouraging comments. Additionally, WWE legend, Madusa, and former WWE superstar, Chris Jericho, also commented on his post and expressed their admiration for his perseverance.
