Holly Rowe

[Trappa]

All my good thoughts and positive vibes to everyone's favorite sideline reporter, Holly Rowe, as she continues her fight against cancer. And simultaneously, congratulations on the contract extension with ESPN.


Veteran ESPN sideline reporter Holly Rowe told the Associated Press on Thursday that the melanoma doctors first discovered two years ago has returned and spread. Still, she’ll remain in front of the camera and recently signed a contract extension to remain with the network.

“I don’t think about having cancer when I’m out here,” Rowe told the AP’s Doug Feinberg before tipoff of a WNBA game between Minnesota and New York. “Monday, I have a CT scan and have treatment. I’ll be a cancer patient on Monday. I’m not thinking about it today.”

Not good news.

Prayers to you Holly. You can beat this!

 

[NOI33]

Terrible news. I pray she comes out of this battle victorious.

She's an incredible person and her love for the game is so infectious. The players (College and WNBA) adore her. I really really hope she makes it.

My warmest thoughts and most positive energy to a wonderfully courageous and fine person and a terrific sports figure.

Cancer is one of the scariest words, if not the most. As a surviving C, (I don't know ex actually you can call yourself a survivor,
most treatments lack the FUN aspect. My treatment recovery, not the cancer recovery was about 7 years---. Skin cancer is one of the Cancers in the "leading" death category.

In a few short years --Cancer treatment Center abound , some have excellent results---as in all things medical--know your options, know who has the results for your options---every hospital or Center does not have great results--some have great specific cancer results--learn, don't jump--study,,, all cancers do not spread quickly.

Horrible news. Holly is one of the best working today. Prayers to her. Hate cancer.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Though I didn't have melanoma, I'm a 3-time cancer survivor, living proof that good outcomes are possible. Best wishes to you, Holly!

Some of us saw her working in Bridgeport at the Regional Finals. Her energy was amazing; going up and down the stairs throughout the stands. She will win!

All the way from Texas, thanks for the report.

Newly out of Baylor years ago my wife and the mother of our two pre-K daughters gave up life due to malignancy.

A tragedy for many; a victory for some; a mystery for all of us.

One of the reasons my graduate work and current teaching was in the moral ethics of health care research (stem cells; germ theory; living and dying) and the ongoing evolution of hope attached to that research.

Damn

"Veteran ESPN sideline reporter Holly Rowe told the Associated Press on Thursday that the melanoma doctors first discovered two years ago has returned and spread. Still, she’ll remain in front of the camera and recently signed a contract extension to remain with the network."

That's some superhero right there. This woman is punching her own mortality in the face while signing two year business deals on the side.

It's humbling to realize that I've never come close to being that strong and I hope I never have to.

 

[Bayareahusky]

Amazing her drive.... , and I am sure we all wonder how we would do if in the same situation.....

I am pretty confident i can say i would not have the guts of this woman......

Again I so salute you Holly!!!!!

 

[LesMis89]

My prayers go out to Holly and her care givers.

I'm very sorry to hear of your loss Baylorprof.

I, too, am so very sorry. I'm sure your life, your profession, and especially your fatherhood has been a glory to the memory of your late wife.

Great to hear.
Unfortunately, melanoma is a particularly nasty cancer.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Yes, agreed. Kidney and prostate cancer are much more manageable, especially if caught early and treated well.

Such unhappy news...
