Tell this guy that Michigan State has a lineman, Arthur Ray, who had cancer and has lots and lots melanin. You’ll make his weirdass week.

My younger brother had Ewing’s when he was a freshman in high school (back in 2002). The doctors weren’t 100% sure when they caught it because it had grown to roughly the size of a football (it was wrapped around his pelvis). He went through an experimental and very aggressive chemo and radiation regimen that was being developed at UF and beat it in about a year and a half. Here it is 7 years later and he’s still cancer free. My thoughts and prayers are with Mark and his family.

Seriously, my cousin had Ewing’s Sarcoma. I’m not sure how early they caught it, but he was told all of the 80% make it 5 years stuff. It just kept spreading and he was gone in about 15 months. It’s nasty nasty stuff; here’s wishing Herzlich a full recovery.
