COPPERAS COVE â Jerry âJ.J.â Price has traveled his share of bumpy roads during his 51 years, but now he is facing what may be the biggest fight of his life.
A disabled Army veteran who served at Fort Hood for three years, Price was diagnosed with cancer in 2016 and underwent surgery to remove one of his kidneys. In 2019, the disease was detected in his remaining kidney and doctors removed a third of that one.
Recently, the cancer returned yet again and last Wednesday, he underwent another surgery to remove the rest of his kidney.
âI donât think that it has all caught up with me yet,â Price said, two days before his surgery. âIt has all happened so fast.
