Not trying to make you look bad woninthetrenches, but I could care less if he returns to football. I just hope he recovers.

Im a survivor of hodgkins lymphoma. It is one of the most treatable cancer type out there. Not to mention UMPC became one of the leaders in this type because its the same disease super mario endured.

I am sad to see his season end but fully believe he will be able to recover and have a long succesful life

I respect what youre saying and living is the ,most important thing. I was more pointing to the fact that when you love the spthe ability he has, you hope he gets a chance to recover and make a comeback. There have been a few players the last couple of years to have cancer and are able to continue their career. Life is more important than sports. I have a close friend who has cancer and was in the military, he is unable to continue with it and had been discharged while fighting cancer. That set him back not having what he loved to do for work to go back to and also knowning his team would move on without him.
