NFL Star Has A Heartbreaking Update On His Daughter’s Battle With Cancer
QPolitical ^ | 1/13/15

Posted on 01/14/2015 5:50:51 PM PST by Impala64ssa

Cincinnati Bengals player Devon Still has been keeping us posted on his daughters battle with cancer through his Instagram account since they first got the news that doctors found a tumor in her abdomen. Last June the tumor was removed and she started chemotherapy to destroy any remaining cancer cells. A few days ago Devon took her to the hospital for a routine checkup and posted the heartbreaking results.

Via Instagram:

I wanted to hear so bad that my daughter’s cancer was gone and when I didn’t it hurt me bad. I couldn’t even bring myself to tell my family the results without breaking down.

I honestly just wanted to shut down from every one. But I understand that blessing don’t happen when I want them to, they happen when they’re suppose to. So we are going to keep faith and keep fighting no matter what. #LeahStrong

ABC news recently interviewed the daddy/daughter duo shortly after the news broke.

Our prayers go out to the family and we know she will be cancer free real soon!

to think of this big bear of a man breaking down and crying makes me want to break down and cry in sympathy for them. What a wonderful dad he must be!

Dear God help her get over this! Let it be Your will, but I pray it may be that she is healed here on earth.

Same here. He’s a loving father to his little girl. I read that many young children survive this disease. All we can do is pray.
