Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle Devon Still is asking for prayers for his daughter, Leah, who’s had a setback in her fight against cancer.
The 5-year-old girl went into a hospital on May 5 to start the process of getting a stem cell transplant. The 4-to-6-week process involves high doses of chemotherapy at the outset.
Still posted on social media late Friday that Leah “hit a pretty serious complication,” with her liver affected by the chemotherapy.
“They caught it early so hopefully it gives the doctors a better chance of stopping it from getting aggressive,” Still posted. “As you can imagine our minds are all over the place but we’re going to try and remain positive!”
The girl was diagnosed with cancer a year ago. Doctors removed a tumor from her abdomen, and she started getting chemotherapy to kill cancer cells in her bone marrow. She’s being treated on the East Coast, and the Bengals have supported Still’s decision to miss organized off season workouts in Cincinnati to be with her.
