Grappling legend Marcelo Garcia shared an update on Instagram about his health, and the 9-time World Champion's battle against stomach cancer is going well, he is continuing to get healthier, and he is close to the end of his treatments.

Just a quick update , I can’t film anything right now because I have this nagging cough every time I speak , is one of the side effects of my surgery but it will go away eventually , saw the doctor today and had the best possible news, it was all dead when they removed , also it hadn’t spread to any of the lymph nodes and the chances of recurring are very slim . I still have 4 more chemos to go but I see the pathetic recovery now very clear , it will be a little longer till I can be on the mats but I’ll be back . Thank you everyone for all the support ! Pessoal , recebi ótimas notícias hoje , a biópsia do meu tumor voltou e já não tinha mais nenhum câncer no que foi tirado , nem em nenhum dos nódulos . Chances de retorno são mínimas então agora so mais 4 químio e consigo ver o caminho pra minha recuperação , ainda tenho uma tosse chata que não passa mas era de se esperar , mais um tempo fora dos tatames mas logo eu estou de volta. Obrigada por todo o suporte !
