CINCINNATI (AP) – 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. He said doctors caught the problem early, which was encouraging.
The girl was diagnosed with cancer a year ago. Doctors removed a tumor from her abdomen, and she got chemotherapy to kill cancer cells in her bone marrow.
