I feel bad for the guy or anyone that has to experience this.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Terrible news.

What is the survival rate for acute promyelocytic leukemia?


APL is now considered a highly curable disease, with 2-year event-free survival rates of 75–84%. Early mortality is common in APL and is frequently related to hemorrhagic complications. Prior to ATRA therapy, early death (ED) related to hemorrhage occurred in up to 26% of cases.

 

[Boomer B]

That sucks. Was actually one of the WRs I wanted the Patriots to draft. Hopefully he can be beat it and be back next year.

 

[Triumph]

Hope his career isnt over.

Eric Berry has a form of this disease and the treatment ruined his body.

 

[Scotty]

Unbelievable !!

 

[Wozzy]

Horrible…

 

[Love The Drake]

Feel terrible for Metchie.
His NFL career takes big back seat to his quality and quantity of everyday life.

 

[moosekill]

That really sucks, my dad died from another type of leukemia. Thank goodness this is mostly curable.

 

[Kontradiction]

Hope he makes a full recovery. That’s brutal.

 

[Rob0729]

Wow! That sucks. He was just about to start his NFL career and now this. Hopefully he recovers and can resume his career. Being young and strong will definitely help his recovery.

Very sad to hear this. He was one of my favorite prospects for the 2022 draft. Hopefully he gets well really soon, and then has a long career. Really seems like a great guy too.

 

[*ChungFu*]

I hope this battle stays within the confines of his mettle and he is victorious.

 

[Sicilian]

Awful news. Hopefully he can take the same road as guys like Marcus Cannon and Jon Lester, fully recover, and go on to have a successful career. Keep fighting John!

 

[SouthernPatriot]

Horrible news for our Bama family! The kid has been through a lot in his life and always come out on top. He has many prayer warriors behind and hopefully he makes a full recovery.
