According to Jones, he’s undergone four surgeries over the past decade, with two being on his lymph nodes and the other two being on his lungs.

A less common version of skin cancer, melanoma is more dangerous than other forms due to being more susceptible to spreading throughout the body if not discovered early and then treated, per the American Cancer Society via Fox News.

Stage 4 means that the cancer has “metastasized (spread) to other places throughout the body, such as the brain, lungs, liver, or gastrointestinal (GI) tract,” the Melanoma Research Alliance states.
