Orioles outfielder Trey Mancini revealed that he was diagnosed with Stage III colon cancer and faces six months of chemotherapy. He made the announcement in a first-person piece titled "I Am So Lucky" for The Players Tribune on Tuesday.
Mancini, 28, underwent surgery in March to remove a malignant tumor from his colon. The team had announced he left to undergo a "non-baseball medical procedure."
"When I went in for an endoscopy and colonoscopy, the doctors told me that they were really expecting to confirm that I had celiac disease, which is found in your small intestine," Mancini wrote.
