The pro wrestling world has been sending love and prayers to AEW women\u2019s wrestler Rebel after she announced on Sunday that she has been diagnosed with lung cancer. <\/p>\n
The 47 year old shared the news via a tear-filled video on her Instagram.<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI wanted to come on here and give you guys an update on my health,\u201d she said. \u201cAs you know, May of 2024, I was hospitalized for what I thought was cryptococcal pneumonia, which was fungal masses on my lungs. And I did a year-long antifungals, and after a year of antifungals I was not getting better. Along the way there was, it wasn\u2019t a very smooth sailing journey to where I am right now. There was infections, ruptures, tumors \u2026 so, I had to address those as well. And after a year of not getting better, I decided to go to the Mayo Clinic and see if I could get treated by them. And they found that it was not cryptococcal pneumonia this whole time, and that it is primary pulmonary lymphoma, which is cancer in the lungs. And, if there is a best case scenario, then I have it.\u201d<\/p>\n She also announced that she developed a disorder while going through her ordeal.<\/p>\n Tomorrow, I start rehab because along this tumultuous journey, I\u2019ve picked up a little disorder called Functional Neurological Disorder and it has taken my ability to walk. I now walk with a walker. And my ability to speak clearly. I don\u2019t know if you can tell but sounds like I bit my tongue. I\u2019ve also lost my ability, some ability of function, of my right hand. I kind of have like a claw hand. So, it\u2019s hard for me to use my right dominant hand. I can\u2019t really write and little things like that. So, I\u2019m starting rehab tomorrow, and I\u2019m very hopeful that I can gain some of that functioning ability with this. It\u2019s a very aggressive, intense therapy. It\u2019s Monday-through-Friday, 8-to-5, so it\u2019s like a full-time job. So, I\u2019m very hopeful for it. So that\u2019s about it. That\u2019s the short story, and I just wanted to let you guys know. I\u2019ve been posting things here and there, but I wasn\u2019t clear. There was a lot of other stuff that happened. I fell and fractured my orbital bone. I\u2019ve had hemorrhaging. There has been a lot on the way to here and now.\u201d<\/p>\n Rebel is still listed on AEW\u2019s active roster, but Sports Illustrated noted that she hasn\u2019t competed for the company since 2022. <\/p>\n \u201cTo address the cancer that I have, lymphoma, I have a very serious infection right now, so I\u2019m on IV antibiotics, and I have to clear this infection first before I can address the cancer and once that is finished, hopefully in December, I will go in to determine what kind of treatment I\u2019ll be getting \u2013 chemo, radiation, immunology \u2014 and we\u2019ll start there and we\u2019ll kick it\u2019s ass. I\u2019m hoping that will start around the first of 2026. Hopefully, I\u2019ll be keeping you posted on my journey.<\/p>\n Thank you,\u201d she said tearing up again. \u201cThank you for your support.
