• TNA Wrestler Diagnosed With Brain Cancer For A 3rd Time

TNA wrestler Joe Doering is facing a huge setback in his life, as he battles brain cancer for a third time. The 43-year-old recently completed his first round of chemotherapy and is expected to undergo treatment for five more months at least.

Doering’s battle with brain cancer began in 2016 when he was first diagnosed and successfully underwent treatment for it. Tragically, the cancer returned in 2022, affecting his mobility and leaving him with ataxia, a condition that now requires him to use a wheelchair for daily activities.

To help with the mounting medical expenses and the impact on his family, particularly his wife, who has had to take time off work to care for him, Doering’s sister-in-law, Mandy Banh, launched a GoFundMe campaign with a goal of $6,500. The response has been strong, with $6,121 raised so far.

The GoFundMe post states the following:

“Hi, my name is Mandy, and as my brother in-law approaches 10 years of battling Brain Cancer, he finds himself in the midst of battling a third brain tumor. Joe has underwent radiation & his first round of chemotherapy – to continue for at least 5 more months.

Joe and my sister have put so much determination and resilience into Joe’s fight over the past 10 years I was hoping to help alleviate some financial worries that naturally come along with medical bills combined with my sister needing to take some time off work to accommodate Joe’s multiple medical and rehabilitation appointments. This journey has not been easy on them, and with Joe not having any family in Canada, all of the load ends up on my sister’s shoulders.

After Joe’s last brain surgery in 2022, located on his brain stem, he developed ataxia on his right side, which has greatly impacted his mobility. Joe works very hard with physiotherapy, however, he mostly uses his wheelchair in his day-to-day life, requiring assistance when using stairs, a walker, and any transitioning.

This has been a great change, as one would imagine, from being a professional sports athlete. However despite this great challenge, Joe has remained determined, focused, and most of all- in good spirits! He chooses not to feel sorry for himself and battles his journey very privately. I feel after 10 years, to show Joe more love – that he still has support and encouragement- will help him embark on this latest battle!”

Doering has been away from in-ring action since 2022 after his cancer returned for a second time and left long-term effects on his body.

We wish Joe Doering a speedy recovery and send our best wishes to his family!
