Syracuse University student-athlete Rob Long underwent surgery on December 14 to remove a brain tumor. A senior punter on the Orange football squad, Long provides the following update:
To my friends and supporters:
On December 20, in a post-operation follow-up after the removal of a brain tumor, pathology performed on the tissue revealed that there were malignant cells remaining that will require further medical treatment.
This is obviously a difficult time for my family and me. However, we remain optimistic and positive toward a favorable outcome to this situation. I believe that I am in the best hands with a team of Oncologists and together we will continue to fight and persevere through this until I am back to full health.
Thank you again for all of your prayers and support.
Sincerely,
Go Orange!
