Romo Talks About Father's Cancer
October 12, 2007 5:15 PM
I was in the middle of talking to Tony Romo about his father, Ramiro's, recent diagnosis of prostate cancer this afternoon when about 30 reporters showed up at his locker. His parents broke the news to him a few days after the Bears game last month, and he said he simply gave his father a hug and started praying for him.
Ramiro, 50, is in the process of seeking a second opinion, and he's secured the numbers for two of the top specialists in the nation.
"You love your Dad," Romo said Friday in the locker room. "You just want him to be alright. It's just part of getting older. It's a step in the path of life."
Asked if the news had affected his play, Romo said, "Football's football. When you're on the field, that's all you think about."
Ramiro and wife Joan will be attending Sunday's game at Texas Stadium.
