Some sad news, former Celtics player, Jason Collins, says he has Stage 4 brain cancer.
Just awful - so sorry to hear that.
Yeah, I just read this:

I feel for him, and all of the individuals and families dealing with this horrible disease.
That clip was just heart wrenching. We?ve all probably known someone with glioblastoma - I had two friends die of it. It?s just devastating. Seems that he?s handling it about as well as humanly possible.
My wife's father died from this back in 2013. There were experimental treatments at the time and there are some new ones in the works -- news of that disease tends to draw my attention -- but it's still one of the worst types of cancer to get. It does sound like he's handling it as well as possible, and trying to look at his treatment as an opportunity to help others in the future. That's an admirable outlook.
