Dwyane Wade, the former NBA star, has triumphed over a major health hurdle after having surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from his kidney.
His wife, Gabrielle Union, recently provided an update on his health, confirming that he is now cancer-free. This news follows Wade’s revelation of his diagnosis on his podcast, where he discussed experiencing stomach cramps and urinary issues that led him to get a full-body scan.
The scan uncovered a cyst/tumor on his kidney, resulting in surgery on December 18, 2023, during which 40% of his right kidney was removed.
Wade’s battle with cancer began when he noticed changes in his urinary health, including a weak stream, prompting him to seek medical help. Given his father’s history with prostate cancer, Wade opted for a comprehensive body scan. This scan unexpectedly revealed the tumor on his kidney, which could not be biopsied due to the associated risks. Consequently, surgery became the only viable option to determine the tumor’s nature.
The surgery proved to be life-saving, as the tumor was confirmed to be cancerous. Wade expressed his gratitude for opting for the surgery, recognizing the emotional and physical challenges he faced during his recovery. He mentioned that this was the first time his family witnessed him in a vulnerable position, which was tough for him as someone who values strength.
Gabrielle Union commended Wade for his courage in managing his health crisis with grace and for being candid about his experience, which may inspire others. She emphasized the family’s deep pride in how he handled this difficult time. Union also valued Wade’s choice to wait before publicly sharing his diagnosis, allowing them the necessary time to process their fears and come to terms with the situation.
