Earlier this week, KSR reader Philip sent me a story about his daughter, Ashley Lyles, a 35-year-old Marshall County native who is a UK alum and huge basketball fan. Lyles, who lives in Chicago, went to the hospital in December for a severe headache only to find out that she had rare, terminal brain cancer. According to doctors, Lyles had a Grade IV glioblastoma tumor, an extremely aggressive and fast-growing form of cancer with a prognosis of one or two years.
On December 22, Ashley had surgery to remove the tumor, although it cannot be totally eradicated.
