John Cena reveals past skin cancer diagnosis: 'That phone call's not one you want to get'​

John Cena is opening up about a past skin cancer diagnosis in an effort to bring attention to the importance of wearing sunscreen.
The actor and WWE star told People he grew up in Massachusetts in the 1970s and ‘80s and “never” wore sunscreen.” Though Cena later moved to Florida, where he “fell in love with the sun,” he still “neglected” to protect his skin.

“I was stubborn. I didn’t want to have a routine and I also thought the problem would never reach me. And it’s one of those things where I had a ton of exposure with minimal protection and it caught up with me,” said Cena, who turns 48 on April 23.
A routine check-up in a dermatologist’s office forced Cena to re-think his lax attitude about sunscreen.
“It wasn’t until I went to a dermatologist and got a skin checkup and had a cancerous spot removed from my right pec,” he told People.

Cancer is not something to take lightly, I've lost my mother to it. Anyone can be susceptible, glad they caught it in time.

Much appreciated. You know how it is in our community, especially our parents. Doctors really weren't to be trusted like that because of what they'd witnessed and add on being a super Church family? The warning signs were prayed over and anointed not realizing the root. A lot of herbals and unconventional remedies passed down.

By the time she actually opened up to my siblings and I and we forced her to get checked, it had metastasized from lower body to her lungs. Too late for treatment to be truly effective, even though we tried.

She was still teaching us and her grands on the way Home. Always take care of your health, be preemptive. You curmudgeonly brothers being around as long as possible is the goal.

Especially our Gallus/Ridge Holland superfan @Novembruh
