USA NFL Hall of Famer Brett Favre feared ‘the world was caving in’ after he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
And the former Packers quarterback has admitted he is ‘frightened’ about what comes next, including whether he has CTE.
The 55-year-old revealed the devastating news back in September 2024. Parkinson’s is a ‘degenerative brain condition’ that is ‘best known for causing slowed movements, tremors (and) balance problems.’
‘I have to admit, I thought the world was caving in on me. It was the end of the world – I can’t believe this, not me, I’m healthy, I’m very active, it doesn’t happen to me,’ he told TMZ.
A few months after revealing his diagnosis, the former quarterback – who also played for the Jets, Vikings and Falcons – admitted: ‘There’s always the fear of what happens next – what’s the next step?’
