Comedian-writer Moshe Kasher has been diagnosed with tonsil cancer.
Taking to Instagram on Sunday, the stand-up star marked Father's Day by sharing that he was "so grateful I have a life that's worth living".
In the accompanying post, Moshe recalled finding a "bump" on his tonsil earlier this year while producing The Comeback King, a comedy film directed by Judd Apatow and starring Glen Powell.
He underwent a harrowing surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles last week.
"Two days ago. A Jewish surgery robot at Cedars Sinai yanked my jaw open for five hours and cut it out and then slit my throat and dissected my neck leaving me with a hardcore neck scar which will make people reluctant to street fight me," he explained. "My tongue was clamped and yanked out of my mouth and is so swollen and bruised."
Moshe, who shares a daughter with his wife Natasha Leggero, went on to describe the diagnosis as the "most terrifying and consciousness-consuming" experience of his life.
