Richard Simmons, 75, reveals skin cancer diagnosis after posting alarming message about dying
Richard Simmons has been diagnosed with skin cancer. The reclusive fitness guru revealed the news in a lengthy statement on Tuesday, two days after he posted a concerning message about ‘dying.’ “Mirror mirror on the wall what’s that blemish which is so small,” Simmons, 75, began in a lengthy Facebook status. “There was this strange looking bump under my right eye.
I had a tube of Neosporin which I would put on in the morning and the evening . . . it was still there. It was time to call my dermatologist.” “I sat in his chair and he looked at it through a magnifying mirror.
He told me he would have to scrape it and put it under the microscope,” he continued. “Now I am getting a little bit nervous.
He comes back about 20 minutes later and says the C-word.” Simmons attempted to lighten the mood by telling fans he told his doctor to “stop calling me dirty names” when he was told he had basal cell carcinoma. “You have to go to a cancer doctor right away,” Simmons wrote. “But now that you are here I suggest you put some Botox in your forehead lines and your smile lines and let’s pump up those cheeks of yours…..I patted him on his hand and said, ‘Not today doctor.’ ” Simmons added that as soon as he got home, he contacted Santa Monica, California-based Dr.
