Jaysin Strife’s Health
Strife used to update his fans about his health condition through Twitter. He requested those on the National Wrestling Media to write a story on what he had gone through in the past three years.
As of 23 June 2022, he underwent a cancer treatment procedure with a paralyzed vocal cord. So, he decided to get into the ring with all his power next time. The cancer treatment took all his energy, but he kept tweeting to remind people of his existence.
Strife was in the hospital in July 2022 and remained busy with his edibles, painkillers, and sleeping pills in August. His tweets showed how desperate he was to get back into the ring, create professional wrestlers, and provide a helping hand to the animal rescues.
Strife believed in stability and giving back rather than appearing on TV in the name of success. He knew people might not go through his every tweet, but he still wanted to pour his heart out.
Strife’s medical bill came to be over $500k in August. He could not go for surgery that month for being tested positive for COVID. The struggle did not leave him even for a second! Meanwhile, his tweets related to entertainment, humor, and wrestling showed how he tried to entertain himself during the painful cancer treatment.
Strife had a bone marrow biopsy in September or October 2022, but the loss of sixty pounds during his treatment could not take his charm away. However, his health rapidly declined after 21 October 2022.
Strife made a will and power of attorney only at thirty-six though it was too weird for him. He also asked people to profess their love to him as they might not see him later.
