"The good news is that I’ve finished chemo treatment! It was extremely tough, and I want to thank y’all so much for supporting me through this experience. My body handled it reasonably well, and I’ve begun to rebuild my strength and immune system!" Walker began.
"The bad news is that upon the completion of tests to check on the status of my cancer post treatment, multiple nodes of varying sizes were found in both my lungs," he continued.

Walker shared that prior to starting his chemo treatment, he was informed that he would have a "90% chance" of getting back clear test results. "So to find completely new growth in a new organ was something for which I was not prepared. This unfortunately means my cancer will likely be restaged to stage 4. I will get a lung biopsy, and start radiation soon," Walker wrote.
He continued, "I will keep y’all as updated as possible, and I will continue to fight my hardest. The odds have definitely shifted, but I’m not going to publish them here. It seems defeatist, and unnecessary. I’ll let you know what they were after I beat them. I’ve always lived life to the fullest and I will continue to do so."

In December 2023, Walker announced that he was diagnosed with colon cancer. At the time, Walker said his quality of life was "pretty brutal," but he underwent surgery in January before starting chemotherapy treatment.
"I’m going to fight with everything I have, and my odds are great," Walker said at the time, per People. "All I ask is for your patience and healing thoughts during this time."
