This is NOT what Pro Football Hall of Famer and Dallas Cowboys legend Michael Irvin wanted to hear, has undergone tests earlier this week for throat cancer.
Read on to read the full statement Michael Irvin wrote on social media on Tuesday afternoon…
CelebNSports247.com reports that a worried and scared Michael Irvin is asking for prayers as he awaits the results of a biopsy.
Michael Irvin admitted he is scared of what the results might be since his father died from throat cancer at the age of 51. Michael is 53-years-old.
Irvin wrote:
Spent Sun & Mon in LA at UCLA medical Health (Ronald Reagan Hospital) doing health test. I would not usually do this but this I need to share. Growing up in the ghetto of Ft Lauderdale the one thing you have to conquer to get out is FEAR.
Irvin said he lost his voice celebrating the Cowboys’ win over the Saints on Thursday Night Football late in the 2018 season. Video of Irvin getting fired up on the sidelines at the end of the game went viral online.
Michael continues talking about having “no fear” as an NFL player, but losing his voice recently raised a red flag:
I did! As a football player, the no fear gift served me well as a blessing and an asset on the field but sometimes off the field it’s been a curse and a liability. This past football season after the @dallascowboys beat the @Saints I was so elated and hyped I lost my voice and the problem persisted for almost 2 months. After visiting some of the best throat Doctors they thought it to be wise to take a deeper look at the situation. So we schedule and performed a throat biopsy.
He adds that the “demon (cancer) has chased and vexed” him and now he is “TERRIFIED” of what he might learn:
To give a background I share with you that I lost my father at the young age of 51. He had throat cancer. This demon has chased and vexed me deep in my spirit all my life. So saying I am afraid this time is a big understatement. I AM TERRIFIED!! My Faith tells me whenever you face great fear you go to your greatness power. Mine is God. I am asking all who will.
Irvin said he would like prayers from people for him and his family, asking everyone:
Could you please send up a prayer to help my family and I deal with whatever the results may be? Thanks for your thoughts and prayers in advance????I will continue to pray for your fams protection and prosperity as well. May God Bless us all ?????
Irvin played 12 seasons for the Cowboys as a wide receiver, winning three Super Bowls as part of the famed “Triplets.” He retired after the 1999 season due to an injury.
