John Cena never thought it would happen to him. But then he got the call — twice. The spots on his skin were cancerous.


Cena’s first skin spot was discovered on his chest — in the area of his left pectoral muscle — during a routine visit to the dermatologist. It was promptly removed and sent for testing. His second spot was noticed a year later on his back, in the area of his left upper trapezius muscle.


“I received the phone call twice, ‘Hey, you’ve got to come back, because the biopsy came back cancerous,’” Cena recalls. “That information is sobering, and it right there prompted me to change my life.”
