Roddy Piper Health Situation -- He Does Not Have Cancer

Roddy Piper Health Situation -- He Does Not Have Cancer

Posted: Oct 8th 2009 By: CMBurnham

Rumors floating around today regarding the health of Roddy Piper appear to be unfounded and while Piper has taken time off from all appearances due to doctor's orders, he is expected to start back on an appearence schedule at the end of the month.

According to Piper's agent, Noelle Kim, who talked with him yesterday, he is doing well. She said after the filming of a recent movie, he was told by doctors that he needed to take a break from acting and personal appearances and is taking the break.

"He does not have cancer," she said. "He's been going at it without a break since he was a teenager and the doctors told him that he needed a rest."

Piper suffered from Hodgkin's Lymphoma, diagnosed in 2006 after he was in great pain while wrestling on a WWE tour of Europe. He had beaten the cancer and had been doing acting gigs and personal appearances, and was traveling virtually every week until pulling out of his recent bookings.
