I Looked Weak In Front Of My Family Before My Kidney Surgery – Dwyane Wade

Hall of Fame basketball star, Dwyane Wade has come out to say that he had a cancerous tumour removed from his kidney.

He recently had his say on the latest episode of his podcast, The WY Network, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he had 40% of his right kidney removed 13 months ago, and it all started when he visited the hospital after battling stomach issues, cramps and slow urination.

Wade added that it felt strange to look weak before his family before the operation, but in that weakness, he ended up finding strength in his family.

His words, “On the process of checking, like, ‘Why is my piss coming out slow, why is my stream ain’t powerful? Why is it a little weak?’

And the doctor was like, ‘You need to have kidney surgery,’

My own journey to have that surgery, I think it was the first time that my family, my dad, my kids, they saw me weak. That moment was probably the weakest point I’ve ever felt in my life.

The moment I was by myself, I was struggling, dog.

I had a personal decision to make, and what it was was, ‘If this is cancerous if this tumour, this cyst is cancerous, on your kidney, you’re 41 years old, you probably need surgery because it’s something that needs to be removed so it doesn’t spread,’

As a man, you never want your family to see you weak. Don’t want to be perceived weak, don’t want to be seen in your weakest moments but I had to.

What I saw in the midst of me going through my illness, I saw my family that may not always talk, may not always agree. I saw everybody show up for me and be there for me and in that process, in my weakness I found strength in my family.”

WOW.
