AEW and Ring of Honor talent Maria Kanellis announced on Twitter on Monday that she is currently dealing with a new health issue that could potentially be cancerous.
Kanellis stated that a mass was recently discovered on her adrenal gland and she will be having a meeting with a surgeon later this month to officially determine if this mass is cancerous or not. Kanellis stated that early tests have been inconclusive over this issue.
So fun story… 6 months ago I asked to get my adrenal glands checked and blood work done to check hormone levels because of symptoms I had been having. Insurance would not approve the tests. Fast forward today, I had a CT with contrast to check a mass that was found accidentally…

So here is the update. Yes it is a mass on my adrenal gland. Next step is meeting with an endocrinologist surgeon. It’s inconclusive at this point, if it is cancer. In other news, I ate French fries and a concrete mixer and I feel a little better.

In an update earlier today, Kanellis stated that an appointment with her surgeon has been set for July 30th.
Appointment is set for July 30th at Rush Copley to discuss next steps. This weekend Mike has the weekend off so we are taking the kids to Indianapolis to take my mind off things and see the dinosaurs at the children’s museum. @rushcopley
