Simon Bowler said his brain spread out his melanoma after he had undergone surgery to remove the tumors on his neck.
Doctors rejected a lump part as a “harmless” cyst, but bowling, without believing, returned to doctors to take more tests. That’s when the ultrasound discovered the devastating news – which Bowler was told when he went to work.
“He asked if I sat down. I told him he was driving and he asked me to flip,” he said, adding when I knew it was a bad news. He said they suspected cancer. “
According to him, the tumor was melanoma – the fatal form of skin cancer itself. Although skin cancer is the “most common type of cancer” in the US, the American Cancer Society melanoma says only about 1% of cases. However, this “causes most of the deaths of skin cancer”.

However, 2025. March Bowler fought against treatment with a severe gastrointestinal reaction that caused him to be hospitalized for 10 days. While there, he had a negative reaction to steroids that caused nerve damage to his limbs.
“I felt numb, beaten. It looks like I was hit by a truck. Now I have wavy legs and my right hand that can barely grab the racket, not to mention the type. But I still try,” said Bowler, who shared that he is grateful for my wife’s support Tracey. “That hospital almost broke me. When I came home, I just poured my tears.

As he said Daily Mail“Good to cry. It’s good to admit that you are not fine. I have been removed a lot of my identity, but I have not lost my will to continue.”
“I just want to go back to help people, create young players and show them what resistance looks.”
