Marcos Ambrose has detailed a little-known battle with aggressive cancer that was supposed to have cost him his life.
The two-time Supercars champion and NASCAR winner has spent the past two years in a harrowing battle with colorectal cancer that ultimately led to a full liver transplant to save his life.
He has recently ticked over a year since the transplant and well past the initial prognosis of how long he could survive.
That’s not to say the battle has been won, however Ambrose is currently healthy, happy and committed to spreading the word about organ donation, something he owes his life to.
That was the message at Friday night’s Pirtek Legends Night where Ambrose, the latest inductee, went public with his cancer ordeal for the first time.
“My diagnosis came really quickly and suddenly and very much unexpectedly,” said Ambrose, recounting the discovery of the cancer in mid-2023.
