Jim Ross Details Current Status Post-Brain Surgery, Reveals Doctors Discovered a Small Mass on His Kidney

Legendary commentator Jim Ross recently provided an update on his health two weeks on from his brain surgery.

As noted, Ross underwent a successful brain surgery on August 12. The veteran has since been sharing regular updates on his well-being with fans on social media.

In the latest edition of the Grilling JR podcast, Ross detailed his current status.

Ross revealed that he recently visited an oncologist because the doctors had discovered a mass on one of his kidneys. Thankfully, the doctors don’t believe that it’s cancerous, and even if it does turn out to be one, it’s small enough for the medical professionals to eliminate it via surgery. The AEW veteran is slated to meet his surgeon this morning to discuss the potential reasons behind the headaches he’s been dealing with since undergoing brain surgery.

Here’s what Jim Ross said:

“On Wednesday afternoon, I had my oncology appointment because they saw a mass on a kidney. I’ve got good news on that. The oncologist thinks I don’t have any cancer, but they’re not sure. There’s a lump there, and it may be cancerous, but if so, it’s so small they can operate on it and eliminate it. The last thing I want to do is get cancer surgery and then go back to the freaking hospital for two days.

On Thursday morning, I’m meeting with my brain surgeon. He’s going to explain to me the symptoms I’m having right now and why my head hurts so bad. The wound is one thing, but working on my brain is another. The headaches are prominent and bad. Because my kidneys were questioned, they couldn’t give me very powerful pain medicine. So, I’m kind of suffering through that. As I said, when I go to bed at night, if I roll the wrong way on my head or on my pillow, it wakes me up. That’s not fun. Sleep and rest is the thing I need most right now. That’s where it is.”
