With his permission I send this tweet — he’s back in the hospital to kick cancer’s ass a 2nd time????????!
I certainly believe in the power of prayer…if you do as well, please send a prayer up for Don and his family!

West, who was an extremely important part of TNA/Impact Wrestling during his time with the company from 2002 through 2012, announced in June that he had been diagnosed with brain lymphoma, a form of cancer, and would undergo immediate treatment. He announced in September he was in full remission.
West was an extremely popular part of TNA as an announcer, manager and heading up the company's merchandise side from 2002 through 2012, when he made the decision to exit the company to take a position as the General Manager of the Wenatchee Wild hockey team in Wenatchee, Washington. West, who has popped up occasionally in pro wrestling at Starrcast events in recent years, has been doing radio on KPQ 560 in Washington. West took a hiatus from his broadcasting duties to focus on his health and we look forward to hearing of his return to the airwaves.
Don first became known nationally as a pitchman for Shop at Home, where he became so popular Will Ferrell once played him in a sketch on NBC's Saturday Night Live.
All our continued best to Don and his entire family!!!
