per GopherSports:
You have cancer.
Those are three daunting words that have affected millions of families and households around the country.
However, according to the National Cancer Institute, the number of people to live beyond a cancer diagnosis reached nearly 14.5 million. Alex Keith, senior defensive lineman, has etched his name in that total.
It all began during Keith’s sophomore year of high school. After suffering from bad allergies, he noticed a lump on his neck.
“I’ve had allergies my whole life growing up,” said Keith. “I had [a bump] on my neck and it kept getting bigger, but [my family and I] just figured it was a lymph node. My lymph nodes are always swollen because of my allergies. We went to an ear, nose and throat doctor in order to check it out. We went and did a biopsy around 10 times and the doctors could never pinpoint or say exactly what it was.”
It was then that Keith and his family got the news: he had a cancerous tumor.
“It was stressful to hear that I could have cancer, but I just blocked it out of my mind and knew I was going to be fine.”
