X-Men star Tyler Mane reveals he has “super rare” form of breast cancer

by

Actor Tyler Mane, known for his role in X-Men, recently shared that he’s been diagnosed with breast cancer. He described the diagnosis as a major wake-up call and is determined to overcome the illness.

I was so excited to see Tyler Mane back as Sabertooth in the new Deadpool & Wolverine trailer! He was amazing as the character way back in the first X-Men movie. It’s awesome to see him revisiting the role. Plus, he’s a really versatile actor – I remember him being terrifying as Michael Myers in Rob Zombie’s Halloween films. He’s been in a ton of other cool stuff too, like Troy and The Devil’s Rejects, and he even showed up in the TV shows Jupiter’s Legacy and Doom Patrol. He’s a fantastic actor with a great range!

Tyler Mane, known for his wrestling career in WCW and his acting roles, has recently shared that he’s been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and is now facing a health challenge outside of the entertainment world.

Tyler Mane vows to kick cancer’s ass

In an Instagram post, Sadio Mané shared that he’s been diagnosed with breast cancer. He noted it’s a very rare condition, affecting only about 1% of people with breast cancer.

Okay, so I’ll be real – my initial thought was to just keep this to myself. It felt a little awkward, honestly. But then I learned something really important: men often don’t get diagnosed until things are much further along, and a big reason for that is because we don’t talk about it enough, and doctors aren’t always looking for it. That made me realize I needed to share.

Actually, my doctors didn’t think the lump was a problem, and I only got it checked out early because my wife insisted I have it removed.

Let’s start the conversation: approximately 1 in 755 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime. The good news is, if detected early, it’s highly treatable. It’s time to pay attention to this important health issue!

Those words are accompanied by a video in which Mane says, “I have some bad news. I start chemo today.” He then invites viewers to follow the journey on which he’ll “kick this thing in the ass,” and ends the message with footage of him in the hospital, saying “f*ck cancer,” and giving it the middle finger.
