July 1, 2009 EagleAction.com StaffCHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - Here's the latest on BC All-American linebacker Mark Herzlich and his battle with bone cancer from his father, Sandy. Mark was recently back at Boston College working out with the team. From Sandy Herzlich: Just to keep everyone in the loop, although there's not a lot new to report. So far Mark continues to be doing fine. The chemo seems to be doing a number on the tumor and other than taking Mark's hair, has had little in the way of negative side effects. Mark continues to feel well and is pain free. He's had no nausea and has been able to eat fine and keep his weight right in line. He's been working out and swimming and looks great. Mark just spent a week on campus at Boston College finishing up some summer school work and spending time with his teammates. While he found that lifting with the team ... was a bit tougher than tossing weights around with some friends in the basement ? he had a ball and the trip was very good for him. Mark is back home now and will begin a full week of chemo [which he started Monday]. After the 4th of July holiday, we'll be taking another MRI to determine the progress that has been made so far in killing the cancer and what the next course of action will be. Depending upon the results of the MRI, we might do surgery, we might do radiation or we might go for another cycle of the chemo before doing either. Regardless, we won't know anything until after the MRI. Many thanks to everyone ? friends, strangers, family (both blood and BC) and everyone else ? who've kept Mark in their thoughts and prayers. I'm convinced that the prayers are being heard and that's part of the reason that he's doing so well. |
