WWE Hall of Famer Bret “Hitman” Hart announced earlier this week that he was diagnosed with skin cancer.
Hart posted a photo on Instagram showing a small stitch in his shoulder, and he provided an explanation in the comment.
“Goal for 2020 and beyond: wear more sunscreen!” Hart wrote in the caption of his photo on Instagram. “Basal cell carcinoma removal scheduled soon. Another opportunity to remind everyone to look after your health and #getchecked.”
According to the Mayo Clinic, basal cell carcinoma is a type of skin cancer that is most often treated by removing the cancer through surgery.
Basal cell carcinoma is said to be rarely life-threatening.
The 62-year-old Hart has fought battles before, having suffered a stroke in 2002, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2016, and revealing he 100 percent recovered from prostate cancer in 2017.
