Doctors confirmed it was malignant. The couple is prepared to fight the cancer. "Then all of a sudden you realize you're into a new battle," Al said.
Al Robertson said that doctors will perform surgery on Lisa in the coming months to remove the tumor. He said hs wife has been strong through the cancer diagnosis. Lisa later appeared on the podcast to share her own thoughts on the diagnosis. Like anything, she had to go through the stages of grief, initially shocked by the news.
