What Happened to Tommy Rivs?
Tommy Ribs got admitted to the ICU with respiratory issues back in the summer of 2020, which was the pandemic’s peak. He was diagnosed with Primary Pulmonary NK T-Cell Lymphoma, a very rare and aggressive form of lymphoma.
He received chemotherapy under the guidance and expertise of leading lymphoma physicians in the world in a hospital in Scottsdale, AZ.
Tommy suffered from an unknown respiratory illness and pneumonia-like symptoms. Hence, he did all the COVID-19 tests, but his results came negative, so when he was checked into an Arizona hospital, he was diagnosed with a rare form of lymphoma.
After six months of being diagnosed with cancer, he entered remission and had lost more than 80 pounds from his muscular frame. However, his lungs were at 20 percent capacity, which disqualified him for a lung transplant, so he moved to a rehab facility to build his lungs and strength back.
Tommy Rivers is not cured of his cancer fully, but he had posted about his long period of suffering from lung cancer coming to an end back in November 2021.
The professional athlete recently updated his health with his followers and fans via his post on Instagram, where he thanked people who didn’t give up on him even when he had given up on himself.
He shared that his current weight read 174 lbs on April 10 morning and mentioned that it was officially heavier than his racing weight before he got sick.
