“I think I spoke on the 1000th podcast, we were trying to figure out the diagnosis, but according to the doctors, he has some sort of blood disease causing all kinds of problems,” Jase Robertson informed listeners, citing a second well being affliction for his father.
Al Robertson, in the meantime, added that Phil has had the blood illness for years, though it has just lately accelerated.
“We’ve got a team of doctors, and then we have another set of doctors who are looking at all the tests, and they’re all in agreement that there’s no curing what he has,” Jase mentioned.
It’s unclear what the long run holds for Phil, however followers will possible hear from him once more.

Heck, Robertson desires to contribute to his household’s aforementioned podcast in some unspecified time in the future down the road.
“I’m like, ‘Well Phil, you can barely walk around without crying out in pain, and your memory is not what it once was.’ He’s like, ‘Tell me about it.’ So he is literally unable to — I think he would agree — to just sit down and have a conversation,” Jase mentioned.
However that doesn’t imply Phil Robertson is out of the highlight for good.
Particularly if Duck Dynasty comes again, as teased just a few days in the past by Willie Robertson.
“The time [is] right… met with the family, prayed about it, and said, ‘Yeah, I think so,” Willie beforehand informed Tucker Carlson.

Duck Dynasty premiered on A&E on March 21, 2012, and ran for 11 seasons, concluding its run on April 5, 2017.
The sequence centered on the Robertson household and their West Monroe, Louisiana enterprise, Duck Commander, which makes merchandise for duck hunters.
Within the wake of this medical reveal, varied followers flocked to social media to ship their ideas and prayers to the Robertson household.
“Praise God for men like your grandad who are such faithful patriarchs, who impact generations to come,” wrote one individual in response to Sadie Robertson’s on-line message. “Your family is a walking testimony of that. Thank you for sharing and praying for him and your entire family.”
One other individual commented:
“You and Paw Paw Phil make us proud to be from Louisiana and more importantly, proud to be people of faith. To this day I still say it was one of the best shows we’ve ever seen on TV. Never be afraid to speak about the importance God had in your family’s lives. May God continue to grant your family peace and strength in this difficult time.”
