Speaking through his official Facebook page, WWE Hall of Famer Bret “The Hitman” Hart issued clarification in regards to his prostate cancer and the comments that fellow WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross made during The Gunz Show on 77 WABC Radio earlier this week in where he mentioned that the doctors removed Hart’s cancer by removing his prostate and that Bret’s cancer is a non-issue now.

Bret’s statement is below:

“I just want to clarify that, while the surgery went well and my doctors and I are optimistic, it is still way too early to declare that it’s now a non-issue. I will be monitored every 3 months over the next couple of years as there is a possibility that the cancer can come back.”

Bret also noted in the statement that it would be a while before he can declare that he is cancer-free.
