Weller fought this fight once before in 2016 when he was diagnosed with Stage 3 stomach cancer and he was able to battle and win. Now, the 60-year-old Milton, Ont. resident is facing the toughest battle of his life.

According to Weller's friend Lisa Flammini, this "very aggressive cancer has returned in his esophagus and Canada is out of treatment options. Mike [and his wife Sue Woodyatt] will be taking a leave of absence to find treatment options outside of Canada."
