Baltimore Orioles outfielder Trey Mancini revealed that he was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer on Tuesday, in a piece for The Players Tribune, titled “I Am So Lucky.” Mancini will undergo six months of chemotherapy.
The 28-year old outfielder had surgery in March, removing a malignant tumor from his colon.
Mancini spoke on his original visit to the doctor, saying, “when I went in for an endoscopy and colonoscopy, the doctors told me that they were really expecting to confirm that I had celiac disease, which is found in your small intestine. When the anesthesia put me under, I believed everything was going to be O.K.”
Mancini noted that before the doctor even mentioned cancer was not even in his head.
