Former WWE and TNA wrestler Joe Doering is set to enter hospice. In a recent unfortunate update shared by Mandy Banh, Doering’s sister-in-law, it was noted that Doering was set to enter hospice soon, following his long health battles.
In a GoFundMe page created and shared by Banh, more details about his third battle with brain cancer were shared.
“Hi, my name is Mandy, and as my brother in-law approaches 10 years of battling Brain Cancer, he finds himself in the midst of battling a third brain tumor. Joe has underwent radiation & his first round of chemotherapy- to continue for at least 5 more months. Joe and my sister have put so much determination and resilience into Joe’s fight over the past 10 years I was hoping to help alleviate some financial worries that naturally come along with medical bills combined with my sister needing to take some time off work to accommodate Joe’s multiple medical and rehabilitation appointments,” the note said.
“After Joe’s last brain surgery in 2022, located on his brain stem, he developed ataxia on his right side, which has greatly impacted his mobility. Joe works very hard with physiotherapy, however, he mostly uses his wheelchair in his day-to-day life, requiring assistance when using stairs, a walker, and any transitioning. This has been a great change, as one would imagine, from being a professional sports athlete,” it further read.
As of this writing, the GoFundMe page has already raised $22K CAD out of it’s $24K CAD goal.
In an update, it was also noted that Doering’s brain tumor was growing. His chemotherapy had to be stopped and he was put on steroids. A few years ago, in 2022, while wrestling for TNA, Doering stepped away from wrestling after his brain cancer returned and he had to undergo surgery. In December 2025, it was revealed that he was battling a third brain tumor. Doering has spent nearly 10 years fighting brain cancer. Prior to his TNA run, Doering also spent a brief time in WWE in 2010.
