Dignam said, “There was a blockage in my arm where the adrenaline was going in so they had to slit the side of my neck, straight into the jugular and right down into my heart. I felt like I had died for a minute or so, nothing seemed to matter, then suddenly the adrenaline restarted my heart.” He underwent chemotherapy for the condition, and as of September 2017, continues to receive chemotherapy.
