John Cena is teaming up with Neutrogena for a new ‘Sunscreen You Can’t See’ campaign and has revealed the partnership. While speaking to PEOPLE, Cena revealed a past skin cancer diagnosis.
“I was stubborn. I didn’t want to have a routine and I also thought the problem would never reach me. It’s one of those things where I had a ton of exposure with minimal protection and it caught up with me,” he reveals. “It wasn’t until I went to a dermatologist and got a skin checkup and had a cancerous spot removed from my right pec. I was very lucky to have a great dermatologist who kind of, I guess for lack of a better term, held me by the hand and let me know that I wasn’t alone. The stats on this are overwhelming, but as much as I learn about them, those numbers don’t mean anything. I think the best way to hammer home a point is human-to-human connection. And I as a human can tell you: Man, that phone call’s not what you want to get because it is unpredictable and you don’t know how bad it’s going to be.”
Cena continued, “A year later I went back and had another spot removed close to my right shoulder. It shows up like a white polka dot on the side of my chest and on my shoulder. If you watch WWE, you’ll be able to see them.”
Cena is set to appear on Monday’s WWE Raw to further the build for when he challenges Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41.
