I hope this turns out well for him; he just finished chemo this week.

And to give you an idea of how he's tolerated the treatment:
"The first thing my mom and my dad told me to do is pray," Cannon said last week, "and here we are today. I'm a fifth-round Patriots draft pick, and half the mass I had is gone. For everybody who doesn't believe, here's your reason to believe. It's a miracle in itself that somebody with a life-threatening disease gets drafted."
Cannon's chemo treatments will be finished this week; his smile is back; he is working out and hopes to be at the New England Patriots' training camp for the first day of practice in August, assuming the NFL lockout ends.

And to give you an idea of how he's tolerated the treatment:
Cannon has had nausea only once. . . . He hasn't lost his hair, and he has maintained his weight despite losing his appetite. (He said he dropped to 338 after his first chemo treatment before figuring out he had to eat despite not being hungry. He now weighs 348.)
. . .
The same day he had his third chemo treatment, Cannon swam and played basketball. He said he couldn't be better.
