Pauly Shore is imploring folks to go get their bodies fully checked by a doctor … because he said a full body scan revealed a tumor deep inside his body … and he had to go under the knife to get it removed.
The comedian just shared the health update on social media … and he says he had a tumor growing on his pancreas.
Pauly says the tumor was only discovered after he went for a preventive full body scan three months ago … he got a call a week after the scan notifying him of the abnormal mass.
Fortunately, Pauly says the tumor was benign and it might have been chilling there undetected for 15 to 20 years … but he says his doc told him it was best to get the thing removed anyway … so that’s what Pauly did.
He shared video of himself in the hospital before the surgery … and he says when he woke up, doctors told him they only needed to remove the tumor and a small bit of the surrounding tissue … leaving his pancreas intact.
Pauly says everyone should get a full body scan if they can afford one … noting they usually cost around $1,000 to $2,000.
