Chiefs should definitely support awareness of Locker Room Cancer.







Okay real answer Hodgkins lymphoma.

But by God, add those up.

Liver cancer isn't even on the graphic, if you get diagnosed with that you're basically done for.
My mom had it. Told us in July, passed away before the end of August. That is some bad bad shit. ONce you know you have it, you're already gone, it has one of the lowest survival rate of any cancer.

**** cancer, by the way.

Also looked up numbers for most common cancers. Here is new cases per year / number of deaths.

Bladder - 76960 / 16390
Breast (women and men) - 249260 / 40890
Colon & Rectal (men and women) - 134490 / 49190
Endometrial - 60050 / 10470
Kidney - 62700 / 14240
Leukemia (all kinds) - 60140 / 24400
Lung - 224390 / 158080
Melanoma - 76380 / 10130
Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma - 72580 / 20150
Pancreatic - 53070 / 41780
Prostate - 180890 / 26120
Thyroid - 64300 / 1980

With pancreatic cancer, there are nearly 8 people who die from it per 10 new cases. I think maybe it deserves some attention.

I'd like to thank Eric Berry for this movement.


He is as good looking as our Cheerleaders anyways so it's going benefit everyone now.

Ding, ding, ding. That's exactly it. Someone said that everything the NFL does is all about money and they are exactly right. The NFL had a breast cancer month to get female fans on board. That's it.

Also, RE: pancreatic cancer -- my grandfather was diagnosed with it when I was in middle school. They gave him 3 months to live as a best case scenario, so they really don't expect you to make it. He ended up living for 2 more years, but he was also part of the Greatest Generation so he was a tough SOB.

That has always been my opinion. It does not get the attention breast cancer gets and directly impacts the main viewer base of the NFL. Seems like a better community service announcement in this case.

Pancreatic is also one of the most painful. He must've been tough and suffered a lot. Condolences as well IC.
