2. Dwayne Wade opens up about cancer surgery
Retired NBA star Dwyane Wade recently discussed his kidney cancer journey on “Today With Jenna & Friends.” In December 2023, he had surgery to remove a tumor after doctors found a worrying mass. After seeking several medical opinions, a third doctor recommended immediate surgery. The basketball legend, who has a family history of prostate cancer, admitted to feeling fear but leaned on his loved ones, including his wife Gabrielle Union and his father, for support.
Now, more than a year post-surgery, Wade is grateful that his stage 1 cancer was detected early, allowing for successful removal and recovery. While he initially struggled with being seen as weak by his family, he ultimately found comfort in their presence. Reflecting on the experience, Wade emphasized the importance of proactive health checks, especially for those with a genetic predisposition. “Now I’m back. I’m strong, I’m healthy. I feel great,” he shared, encouraging others to prioritize their health.

Manchester United midfielder Mason Mount is set to return to training after a lengthy injury absence. The 26-year-old has struggled with multiple injuries since his move from Chelsea in 2023, with his most recent setback being a hamstring injury during the Manchester Derby in December. He has only made 32 appearances for United, scoring once and providing one assist.
Mount is expected to rejoin the team training soon, but he is unlikely to play in the Europa League match against Real Sociedad on Thursday. Mount’s return will be a major boost for head coach Ruben Amorim, who has expressed his admiration for the former Chelsea star. Speaking on Mount’s injury woes, Amorim reassured fans, stating, “It’s bad luck, nothing with the problem of the body of Mason Mount. It was a bad movement and he is going to recover because we need him.”
