The “good” news is that he has Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, which has close to 90% survival rate overall.  Wishing him all the best for a positive outcome!

Moreover, if it was caught during a routine physical, it most likely was not symptomatic, which means it was caught early.  Even advance Hodgkins lymphoma is considered to be relatively curable.  Hodgkins that is caught early, that much more so.  I had lung cancer that was caught accidently before it was symptomatic, though in retrospect, I think I did have one barely noticeable symptom.  It was stage 2 when I had a lobectomy followed by chemo.  That was 6 years ago.  I am now cancer free.  I'm not going to be playing football though.

 

BTW, I believe Foster Moreau was the other unusually athletic sleeper TE prospect the year Buffalo drafted Dawson Knox.

Thanks.  I happen to be an oddball.  I never smoked but ended up with both lung cancer and emphysema.  My cancer is gone and my emphysema appears to be progressing only slowly, so I should have years before it becomes severely debilitating.  My dad, a 50 year smoker, escaped lung cancer but developed emphysema that left him with 5% lung capacity by the time he died at 78.  Not easy to think about what he went through the last few years of his life.
