"Pitt women’s basketball player Kyla Nelson has been diagnosed with cancer, she revealed on Wednesday.

Nelson, a 21-year-old junior from Worthing, England announced that she has been diagnosed with cancer of the appendix, specifically a neuroendocrine tumor of the appendix.

She is scheduled to undergo surgery at the beginning of October. The tumor was discovered during a seemingly routine appendectomy on Aug. 26.

The 5-foot-11 guard says she anticipates returning to the court for the Panthers this season."

Prayers up for Kyla!

Indeed. To put it bluntly, cancer sucks!

 

[Beemer]

Equally tough is the fact she is so far away from home

Prayers ALL THE WAY UP for this young lady and ALL whom are affected by this horrible disease.

The forms and varieties of cancer are just overwhelming. We attended a liver transplant support group at Mayo today (my wife is in the hospital, relatively minor issue, thankfully) and someone's initial diagnosis before transplant was a rare bile duct cancer. I never knew there were so many types, I learned about the childhood cancers a while back when a Rutgers fan died some years ago as well.

Prayers for all who suffer from the horrible disease, have lost anyone to it or who are "survivors".
