For Texans defensive end Devin Still, visiting cancer patients Tuesday at Texas Children's Hospital was especially meaningful.
His daughter, Leah, triumphed in her battle with cancer after being diagnosed with stage-four neuroblastoma two years ago and being given a 50-50 survival diagnosis.
She underwent chemotherapy, antibody therapy and radiation therapy, undergoing a grueling seven-hour surgery at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia a year ago to remove a cancerous tumor and her right adrenal gland.
Now, Leah is in the first grade, has resumed swimming classes and plans to resume dancing classes soon. Leah and her father authored a children's book called 'I am Leah Strong' that Devon Still read to cancer patients Tuesday as part of Childhood Cancer Awareness month.
