Sam’s heartfelt message after her husband’s surgery
Alex decided to publicly share the news of his diagnosis, knowing that if it helps even one person “it’s well worth it.”
The athlete posted a statement about the matter on Nov. 10, writing: “This morning, I stood before our team as a lucky man. I shared with my teammates and coaches that I underwent successful surgery on Friday for testicular cancer after being diagnosed last week. Thankfully we believe the cancer was caught early enough with a great prognosis for me and my family. While we are still awaiting some additional test results, I fully expect to return to the field in the coming weeks.
“A little over two weeks ago, following a random test as part of the NFL’s Drug Testing Program, I received a notice that I had elevated levels of the hormone hCG in my system. Without a doubt, I knew with how diligent I am with what goes into my body that this was not from anything external I may have taken. After speaking with my agent and wife, we decided to book an appointment with a urologist.”
Alex continued, “On Monday, I visited Dr. Andrew Zilavy, who determined that, in fact, I had signs of a testicular tumor. I immediately contacted the Broncos, and they put me in contact with Dr. Geoff Ledgerwood, who was able to conduct an ultrasound immediately to confirm the diagnosis. And then Friday, after playing in the Raiders game the previous night, I underwent surgery to remove the cancerous tumor and begin the road to a full recovery.”
Sam re-shared her husband’s post on her Instagram Story and added a text overlay that read, “my super strong and amazing husband. I love you endlessly.”
She left a comment on his post, as well writing, “You’re incredible! ilysm [I love you so much],” alongside a purple heart emoji, the color traditionally associated with testicular cancer.
