A local celebrity is speaking out about a personal health issue. Tyler Mane, an actor and former wrestler known for his role in "X-Men", has been diagnosed with breast cancer. The cancer was discovered as a hard lump on the left side of his chest.

Mane first noticed the lump last fall but didn't think much of it, expecting it to go away on its own. It was his wife, Renae, who encouraged him to have it checked.

Further details about Mane's diagnosis and experience are available from NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth. Mane is using his platform to raise awareness and encourage men to check themselves for signs of breast cancer.
