Too many of ye are making out that prostate cancer is easy to beat it's not. it is very treatable but kills as many men as breastfeeding cancer kills women. Testicular cancer is the much easier one to cure

Not going to be fun, but he'll still be with us.

Almost every single one of us will have it before we die, but it won't kill most.

It kills many but only because a ton of people have it. As a percantage of all those who have it...death rates are low.

The whole process to take care of it sucks. No doubt no one wants to have this.

To those that think everyone survives prostate cancer. It completely depends on what stage. Stage 4 has the same survival rates as any other cancer.

Yup. If it's caught early it's good. Any make who lives long enough will get it pretty much

Absolutely...but a huge percentage is found at stage 1.

Damn that sucks. Hope he overcomes it and things go well for him.

I don't know how true it is but I just read someone on Something Awful say that it's so slow moving you could do nothing about it and still live to your 80s. I hope that's true.

That's what my grandfather did and he lived to 89 I think and didn't die from it then.

He was diagnosed later in life than Bret though.

AlphaSnake · Feb 1, 2016

Read his announcement on my FB feed and it was pretty sad to read. Despite all his successes, he has indeed had a shitty life outside the ring. Also, his favorite wrestler of all time just died too (Archie Gouldie - The Stomper) and Bret was pretty upset about that and wrote a huge FB post about him being the best ever in his eyes.

Yousefb · Feb 1, 2016

Oh man, my cousin just told me about this. Cancer is really doing a number this year. What a horrible disease. Keep fighting the good fight Bret! He's always going be my hero.

I certainly don't want people to get that impression at all, it's a horrible disease but given the overwhelming majority are diagnosed at stage I or II, survival rates are normally very high indeed.

Yeah, very formulaic, seen it before. Punks well wish was doing something different, but how has Hunter innovated when it comes to condolences? He just hasn't.

Hope Bret pulls through. He was my favorite childhood wrestlers.

TV Wrestling is the joke of all jokes to me..became lame as I grew older. Damn..did seeing this man's name attached make me feel some kind of way and bring back memories. Good luck to him..hopefully, a speedy recovery. All the hearts to you.. ❤💙💚💛💜💓💔💕💖💗💘💝💞💟

Steroids man, don't take 'em.

Savitar · Feb 1, 2016

Poor Bret, hope he cant beat this. Cancer is truly insidious.

DontBeThatGuy · Feb 1, 2016

Fucking cancer, man. I hope it's very treatable and not too far along.

If bret roided at all, it definitely wasn't the insane levels that others went to. His body seemed pretty normal compared to other wrestlers back in the day

He admitted to taking them in his biography. Steroids help with injury recovery as well as them gains.

Hart is the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be.

Bret vs. Owen at WM 10 is vastly underrated.

YaGaMi · Feb 4, 2016

My favourite wrestler growing up. Hope he gets through it.

Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku! · Feb 4, 2016

Per the Observer this week:

The only details we heard that Bret Hart didn’t release was the belief that the cancer was spotted in its early stages, which is good news for Bret.

Very good news if true

After I heard the news I popped in the three-disc documentary to watch some of his favorite matches. So much good stuff that really holds up well, especially if you know the stories leading up to the matches.

Good update from the Observer:

Bret Hart underwent prostate cancer surgery on 2/10 in Calgary and by all accounts, the procedure was a success. He had his prostate completely removed and doctors were confident that the cancer was contained and so he won't need any chemotherapy or radiation and should make a full recovery.

Hart had apparently known about having prostate cancer dating back to last summer, but had only told close family and even friends only found out days before he made the announcement on Facebook. Doctors felt that because it was a slow growing cancer, he didn't need immediate surgery and they pushed it back due to his recovery from a wrist operation that took longer than expected to rehab.

Corpsepyre · Feb 18, 2016

Great. Hoping he's beaten it for good. One of my heroes!
