Colts coach Chuck Pagano diagnosed with leukemia - NFL.com

Pretty rough news for him; will be out of action for a while. Colts press conference on NFL Network now. Doc talking now says "the process is long and complicated and we're just starting now."

Sorry to hear. I wish him and his family well and he to have a quick recovery.

What a gut punch. You go out and find a young, up and coming coach to grow with your organization as you rebuild and who would have ever envisioned something like this. Hopefully it is manageable and highly treatable as many of the lukemia's are these days. I have a friend you battled one 4-5 years ago and he came through it fine although he was told it often re-emerges within a decade and can become increasingly difficult to stay ahead of if that continues to happen. Many cancers are now being treated as chronic illness that as long as you can tolerate the chemos that seem to combat them they just keep beating back over time. The problem is the treatment is often as draining as the disease and cumulative fatigue and side effects also take a toll.

Hopefully they find a treatment for him that works well from the outset.

I heard it was treatable. I hope he makes a full and quick recovery.
