Sincere best wishes for Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn, who has announced that he is slated to undergo treatment for a case of parotid cancer. Some words from Gwynn himself ought to assuage our worries a bit:
Tony Gwynn To Undergo Cancer Treatment
↵↵“I had surgery for a parotid tumor in 1997 and again three years ago, and both those times there was no cancer,” Gwynn told the Union-Tribune. “But this time they found a malignancy. They took out three lymph nodes and did all the tests and the results showed cancer in the parotid. The doctors have told me they feel they caught the cancer early and there was not much of it there.
↵↵We would be hard-pressed to find a more well-liked character in baseball -- or really, in sports -- than Tony Gwynn. Though Gwynn’s prognosis is apparently positive, he’s going to have to endure radiation and chemotherapy treatment, and anyone who has undergone such treatment will attest that it isn’t a pleasant experience.
↵Gwynn doesn’t have a hostile bone in his body, but I’m fully expecting him to kick this cancer’s ass.
