WWE Hall of Famer “Rowdy” Roddy Piper has been diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Also known as Hodgkin’s disease, Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a form of cancer found in the body’s lymphatic tissue. The lymphatic system helps filter out bacteria and is important in fighting diseases.
Piper was sent home early from WWE’s early-November tour of the United Kingdom and hospitalized for surgery, where doctors removed a mass at the spinal cord with an enlarged lymph node. The mass was completely removed, but the lymph node was positive for Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
Radiation therapy is used to treat Hodgkin’s lymphoma; it is an extremely successful procedure, so the prognosis is very good for Piper.

"Roddy Piper announced via his official website that he's been diagnosed with lymphoma cancer and will begin treatment to battle the disease immediately.
The cancer was found after Piper was hospitalized for the removal of a benign tumor in his back that had been causing Piper tremendous pain. As we noted earlier today, there had been great relief when the tumor was ruled benign, but additional tests found the lymphoma.
Piper, on his official website, commented, "It seems like I have been fighting someone, something, someplace, in some manner, my whole life. But this fight, is one I am gonna win!"
Everyone here at the site sends Piper and his family the best as he battles Lymphoma."

because of the fact Roddy Piper replaced into the biggest villain in the time of Hogan's era, he replaced into the biggest undesirable guy ever. Like he stated, explanation why Hogan is so nicely enjoyed is by technique of the fact Piper is plenty hated. no longer in basic terms that, Roddy Piper had incredible mic skills, he replaced into the grasp of promos. and additionally he gained Intercontinental call and WCW united statesname. He additionally went undefeated for around 9 years. i will in basic terms remember Hulk Hogan and Bret Hart are the only 2 adult males to ever pin Roddy Piper.
