The following is from TMZSports.com:
Jake "The Snake" Roberts has a cancerous tumor behind his knee ... and the wrestler says it's slowly growing into his muscle -- so he needs emergency surgery to remove the growth.
Roberts tells TMZ ... he noticed a tumor behind his knee the size of a half dollar last month so he had it tested ... and on Friday doctors told him the test came back positive for cancer.
Jake says he's scheduled to go under the knife Tuesday morning ... and after a few weeks off -- he'll make his return to Jersey Championship Wrestling on March 14th -- cancer, or not.
Jake adds, "If the devil can't defeat me, cancer doesn't stand a chance in hell! Pray for sick children who face this horrible disease 'cause The Snake will be just fine."
As for his upcoming induction into the WWE Hall of Fame ... the wrestler says nothing will stop him from getting to New Orleans for the ceremony.

Sadly this is how it usually goes with life.
Once a person turns their life around and starts to fix things, something like this happens.
It happened with Chris Candido years ago, he should have died many times from drug over doses and the chemicals he was putting into his body. He gets clean, and ends up breaking his leg and dies from it.
Jake gets clean and now he gets cancer. He wanted to die all those years he was doing drugs and drinking, and it never happened. He gets clean, and has a new reason to love life and this happens.
It's not funny at all, and it's things like this that will always make me question things.

It sounds like lymphoma, but this is Jake. This is definitely a huge fight, and hopefully they caught it in time, but It was no joke when people said after the nuclear holocaust the only man standing will be Jake. Terrible news, but I really think the Snakeman will persevere and walk through the fire one more time, bruised but not beaten.

I didn't know Candido was a drug user or a hard drinker? What era was this for him? |

He'll be fine I have no doubts. |

Damn, he has all this stuff going for him and then this hits him.
I really hope he beats this though. He's a tough man.

I read this a couple of minutes ago.
Hopefully surgery removes the cancer entirely and Jake is through with this situation.
