Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss announced on Friday that he's battling cancer.

During an Instagram Live video, Moss announced his battle with the deadly disease and confirmed that he is recovering from major surgery. A mass was found on his bile duct and he underwent a six-hour procedure to remove it.

He then spent a week in the hospital before he was released. He's now undergoing chemotherapy and radiation.

Rob Gronkowski saw Moss's diagnosis and is wishing him nothing but the best.

"Love you, Randy. Dominating opponents is what you always have done and you will sure do it again! You got this!!" Gronkowski tweeted.

Even though he's battling cancer, Moss still plans to return to ESPN as soon as he's ready.

"As soon as I get healthy to get back out with guys, I will be on set," Moss said in the Instagram Live video. "Hopefully, I can be with you guys soon. My goal is to get back on television with my team."

Moss is an analyst on ESPN's "Sunday NFL Countdown" and breaks down each week's slate of games each Sunday morning alongside his colleagues.

Before being hired by ESPN, Moss played in the NFL for 14 seasons and finished his career with 15,292 receiving yards and 156 touchdowns. He started his career with the Minnesota Vikings before playing for the Oakland (now Las Vegas) Raiders, New England Patriots, Vikings again, Tennessee Titans, and San Francisco 49ers.

He's one of the best wideouts in NFL history and was a cheat code when he was on the field.

He even has a slogan for battling cancer: Let's Moss Cancer.

We're wishing Moss all the best in his battle.
