TNA’s Joe Doering Enters Hospice Care Amid Third Battle With Brain Cancer

Joe Doering is heading into hospice care as he continues to fight brain cancer for the third time. The news was shared publicly by Mandy Banh, Doering’s sister-in-law, via an update posted to his GoFundMe page.

“Sad to share the news that Joe is heading to hospice soon,” Banh wrote in the post, which also extended an open invitation for those in the local area who wish to visit the TNA star.

Doering, a veteran of the TNA roster, has been away from the ring while battling the illness. The transition to hospice care marks a sobering development in what has already been a lengthy and grueling fight. Hospice care is typically focused on comfort and quality of life rather than curative treatment, and the family’s decision to share the update publicly speaks to the outpouring of support the wrestling community has shown Doering throughout his illness.

The GoFundMe campaign has served as a central hub for updates on Doering’s condition, with friends and fans following along as he has navigated multiple rounds of treatment. His continued presence in the hearts of wrestling fans — both in North America and in Japan, where he built a significant portion of his career — reflects the respect he has earned inside and outside the ring.

Thoughts from across the wrestling world are with Joe Doering and his family during this incredibly difficult time.
