Dwyane Wade disclosed on his podcast that he was diagnosed with cancer over a year ago, necessitating kidney surgery that resulted in the loss of 60% of his right kidney. Due to past family health history, he decided to get a checkup after retirement from the NBA, which led to the discovery of a tumor on his kidney. Wade described the experience as challenging, noting it was the first time his family witnessed him in a vulnerable state, prompting him to advocate for better health awareness among men.
Because I did the full-body scan, they were able to see my entire body, my entire inside, and they were able to see something that was on my kidney - on my right kidney.
My own journey to have that surgery, I think it was the first time my family - my dad, my kids - they saw me weak.
