Randy Moss, the Pro Football Hall of Famer and ESPN analyst, was diagnosed with bile duct cancer, also known as cholangiocarcinoma. This rare and aggressive cancer affects the bile ducts, which are tubes that carry bile from the liver to the small intestine. In this case, the cancerous mass was located between his pancreas and liver.
To treat the cancer, Moss underwent a Whipple procedure, a complex surgery that involves removing the head of the pancreas, part of the small intestine, the gallbladder, and the bile duct. Following the surgery, he spent six days in the hospital recovering. Moss has also indicated that he will undergo chemotherapy and radiation therapy as part of his treatment plan.
Bile duct cancer is relatively uncommon, with approximately 8,000 cases diagnosed annually in the United States. Early detection is challenging due to the lack of symptoms in the initial stages, which can make treatment more difficult.
Moss has expressed gratitude for the support from his family, friends, and fans during this challenging time and remains optimistic about his recovery. He has also emphasized the importance of regular medical check-ups for early detection of such conditions.

Our neighbor died of this cancer about 3 months ago. He passed away 4 months after receiving the diagnosis. I certainly hope they caught this early.
