During a Dec. 13 Instagram livestream, “Moss said he’s a ‘cancer survivor,’ adding he spent six days in the hospital and underwent surgery. He thanked his team of doctors and all those who prayed for him,” Fox News Digital reported.

“I am a cancer survivor,” Moss said. “Some trying times, but we made it through.”

The cancer was found “right between the pancreas and the liver.” He will still undergo chemo and radiation procedures.

On Dec. 6, Moss decided it was best for him to take some time away from his role on ESPN’s SUNDAY NFL COUNTDOWN to focus on his health.

“As soon as I get healthy to get back out with guys, I will be on set…Hopefully I can be with you guys soon,” he reassured viewers. “My goal is to get back on television with my team.”

ESPN supports Moss’ decision, saying, “he briefly addressed the matter at the start of the show on Dec. 1. For nearly a decade, Randy has been an invaluable member of the team, consistently elevating ‘Countdown’ with his insight and passion. He has ESPN’s full support, and we look forward to welcoming him back when he is ready.”

Moss created a merchandise line that will aid cancer research.

“I’m not really taking a lot of questions,” Moss said in the live stream, “but I wanted my fans and all my prayers warriors to be able to see me, and I just wanted y’all to see I did bounce back. There are a lot of people out there who are either battling cancer or they’ve had cancer in their family that people are fighting.”

“I didn’t think I would ever be in a position like this, as healthy as I thought I was, but things took a turn for the worst,” he added. “I asked for my prayer warriors, I asked for my family to surround me and put their hands on me through this trying time, and you all best believe your boy came through.”

“All the prayers, the well wishes, I really felt that. My family felt that,” he said.
