He revealed in an interview with People at the end of last month that a check with the dermatologist led to the elimination of a cancerous place near his right pectoral muscle. He reminded the magazine about “Never” having to use sunscreen while growing in Massachusetts, but moving to Florida was different for him.
He said he “neglected” his skin and never thought about using sunscreen.
“It was stubborn,” he told People. “I didn’t want to have a routine and I also thought that the problem would never reach me. And it is one of those things in which I had a ton of exposure with minimal protection and reached me.
“It was not until I went to a dermatologist and I received a skin check and they took a cancerous stain from my right.”

He said he felt lucky to have an outstanding dermatologist who caught him and took care of it.
“I was very lucky to have a great dermatologist that, I suppose that for lack of a better term, he held my hand and let me know that I was not alone,” he added. “The statistics on this are overwhelming, but as much as I approve about them, those numbers mean nothing. I think the best way to mark home a point is a human to human connection. And I, as a human, I can say: man, that the phone call is not what you want to get because it cannot be used, and you do not know how bad it will be.
“A year later I came back and took another place near my right shoulder. It appears like a white mole on the side of my chest and on my shoulder. If you look at WWE, you can see them.”
Since then, Cena has associated with Neutrogena to promote the defense of sunscreen.

He won the men’s elimination camera match to have the opportunity to face Rhodes, but it has been a thorn on the Rhodes side since then. Soció to the world by converting the “American nightmare” and since then has fought with fans for the decision.
