Randy Moss Reveals He Has Cancer

Randy Moss just revealed he's battling cancer.

The Minnesota Vikings legend announced the sad news on his Instagram page Friday afternoon ... telling his 640,000-plus followers that he's been in the hospital for the last six days dealing with surgery related to the disease.

Moss appeared on camera to give his fans the update -- and he needed a cane to move around. The 47-year-old was in great spirits, though -- as he wore a lavender and black "Team Moss" shirt that read "Let's Moss Cancer."
