In September 2025, Chuck shared a video update following an unexpectedly long surgery related to his previous cancer battle. "My surgery was supposed to be about three to four hours long. You know, it fixed hernias from my previous cancer operations that I developed," he explained in a video shared via Instagram.

But the benefit is I have a flat stomach now, which is cool. But I wanted to thank everyone for their prayers and support. It really helped me get through it. Much appreciated. God bless."
