Pittsburgh running back James Conner promised he would fight and ultimately defeat cancer when he was diagnosed in the fall. He reached another milestone in his battle.
The former ACC Player of the Year completed his 12th and final chemotherapy session Monday to combat the Hogdkin lymphoma he was diagnosed with on Thanksgiving Day 2015. His first treatment was Dec. 8.
Conner will await the results from doctors in the coming weeks.
Glory to God allowing me to get through these 12 schedule chemo treatments.. Been a long road, Results coming soon!
