Trey Mancini Reveals Stage 3 Colon Cancer, Faces Six Months Of Chemo 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Apr 29, 2020 1:43 pm

Trey Mancini doubts he will play this season if Major League Baseball does return.

The Baltimore Orioles outfielder revealed he is recovering from stage 3 colon cancer and is facing six months of chemotherapy.

Mancini had a port put into his chest on April 6 and began chemotherapy on April 13 to treat stage 3 colon cancer. He\'ll have chemo every two weeks.

\"I\'m getting chemo at a hospital in Baltimore, and I have to drive up there alone,\" he wrote on The Players\' Tribune. \"Nobody is allowed to come in with me, and that\'s completely fine by me. I don\'t want anybody else being put at risk -- people that are close to me and that I love, and other people in the hospital. You just never know. COVID-19 has spread so quickly. I\'m definitely trying to follow all the protocols, not only because it\'s the right thing to do, but also because I don\'t want to expose myself to anything, especially before going into chemotherapy.\"
