Scary stuff as the mortality rates are depressing if true. Let's hope that it's non-cancerous.

Sad story. Living in the area it's all over the news. Not a big Berry fan but still sad someone so young have to go through something like this.

 

[Jenky]

Scary stuff, I hope he fully recovers and makes it through this.

Makes you stop and think that these guys wearing uniforms are humans too.

But I still hate the Iggles.

Isn't he a Chief?

Isn't he a Chief?

Yeah. I was just saying that I feel for the guy and that even though I hate the Iggles, I would feel bad for an Iggles player if the same diagnosis was made.

Wiki says Non-Hodgkin lymphoma makes up 90% of all cases. It has a 69% survival rate in the US for 5 years and a 58% for 10 years. And only 42% of people worldwide last year diagnosed survived.

I hate to hear that. I'm wishing for the best.

Prayers for him.... Truly a sign of no matter what stage in life you are to get regular check ups

Prayers for him. That's awful and it's very sad.
