After cancer scare, former WWE & ECW star Francine shares health update

Former WWE and ECW star Francine took to social media to share a health update with the fans. The Queen of Extreme had a scare last month when she revealed that a small mass was found in her left breast. This left the fans worried as Francine revealed that there was a 20 to 40% chance of being diagnosed with breast cancer.

However, recently, the ECW legend took to X (fka Twitter) to provide an uplifting update. She noted that no cancer was found after the test results and was grateful for all the love and support.

"Just got my biopsy results and NO CANCER WAS FOUND! God is good! Thank you for all the prayers and positive thoughts that you sent my way!" she wrote.

Francine became popular in the 90s as part of ECW and embraced the hardcore wrestling style. She managed several ECW talents, including Stevie Richards, Shane Douglas, and The Pitbulls tag team.

She also managed Tommy Dreamer and feuded with Steve Corino. Francine made her WWE debut at the ECW One Night Stand Pay-Per-View in 2005 and later became part of the relaunched ECW brand under WWE.

She continues to stay active within the wrestling sphere with her podcast, Eyes Up Here.

Francine revealed she had a similar scare when she was young

It was during an episode of Eyes Up Here that Francine revealed that a mass was found in her left breast via an ultrasound.

Later in the same episode, she talked about how she had a biopsy when she was 21, and a mass was found in her left breast.

“I had a biopsy when I was 21 years old, a very long time ago and I had a mass in my left breast, same thing. Bigger, I believe, than the one I have now. And it was benign, and I just remember them sticking this huge needle into my boob and like extracting five to six vials of fluid to test, to see if it was cancer and it wasn’t,” she said. [From 2:35 onwards]

With Francine now free from a cancer scare, we wish her a healthy life ahead.

About the author

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
