After 4 months of Chemo and 15 Radiation treatments I can say I kicked cancers ass. It's been a tough 6 months but it stood no chance. I know coming back from this to play football won’t be easy, but it’s nothing I can’t handle. Thank you for all the support and prayers. <a href="https://t.co/dGd9d4h21e">pic.twitter.com/dGd9d4h21e</a>
