Saw this a twitter a few minutes ago.

Ryan Burns:

Minnesota's starting tackle from last year needs your help.

From Chuck Connelly@chucker210:

Damn, thoughts and prayers to Nick and his family.
 


Believe in the power of prayer.
 

We rebuke that cancer in your body Nick Connelly in Jesus name!!
 


Wow very sorry to hear about cancer for him at such a young age. Hoping he can beat this.
 

Wow just saw the GH tweet about this and then this thread. Very sad.
 

Best of luck to Nick and his loved ones. Believe in the power of modern medicine. Nick has a very good chance for a full recovery, assuming this not at a late stage.

The overall cure rate for Burkett's lymphoma in developed countries is about 90%, but worse in low-income countries. Burkett's lymphoma is uncommon in adults, where it has a worse prognosis.[3]
Treatment with dose-adjusted EPOCH with rituximab has shown promising initial results in a small series of patients (n=17), with a 100% response rate, and 100% overall survival and progression-free survival at 28 months (median follow-up).

Horrible. Hope for the best for Nick.
 




Ugh. . . what a gut punch.

I hope for the best and will definitely be in my thoughts.
 

Thoughts and prayers for Nick and his family! You can beat it!
 

Believe in the power of chemo and radiation.

Get well, Nick! Pancake cancer!!
 





I prayed for young Nick tonight.

Hopefully someone from the Connelly family peruses this board. Best wishes from the Gopher faithful!
 


Throw everything at it. Medicine AND the Good Lord.

And God bless the doctors who work miracles every day.

Science and faith work hand in hand in the battle being waged.
May the Connelly's fight the good fight!
I have seen many friends and family win (and lose) the fight to cancer, but in every situation I have seen a strengthening of the spirit that removes the worthless and petty problems while sharpening the character of everyone involved in the fight.
Lock arms brothers and sisters cause the team needs our support.
This, by the way, is what I think of when I hear the phrase "Row the Boat." This is a RTB moment that the entire Gopherhole should rally around.
Kick @$$ Connelly's!!!
