Colt Ford had spoken publicly about his recent cancer struggle. He informed supporters in April that he had been diagnosed with cancer after noticing a lesion on his eye in March that had continued to develop.
“I went to a specialist in Georgia who specialized in cataracts and all that stuff, and I remember them telling me, ‘This ain’t good,’ and ‘You gotta get this out,’” Colt says. “They wanted me to see a cornea specialist… I got very nervous.”
