Cancer is a blight on humanity, and this week it touched the WSU football team when Brody Brown, the 3-year-old son of assistant strength and conditioning coach Tyson Brown, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Brody, Tyson and family are currently in Spokane for the initial phases of treatment.
Yesterday he had his chest port put in, spinal tap, bone marrow draw & 1st dose of chemo. Still ended day w/a smile! pic.twitter.com/xDCi2EgOiy
