Thread: Kenechi Udeze in remission from acute leukemia!!

As many said in the other Kenechi thread, this deserves its own thread.

This is great news!! Sounds like Kenechi has really fought this thing off and could maybe be back as soon as next season if all goes well!

Vikings DE Kenechi Udeze announced today he is in remission from acute leukemia and also said his older brother is a perfect match for a bone marrow transplant, outstanding news for a player who has been suffering from the disease since the beginning of February.

It started with migraines, then neck pain. Kenechi Udeze was in Idaho visiting his wife's family. People get migraines. They suffer from neck pain. He didn't think too much of it. Thought it was a sinus infection, so he went to see a doctor. It was there, in a doctor's office in Idaho, that Udeze heard one of the most jarring words imaginable......

The Star Tribune in Minneapolis is reporting that DE Kenechi Udeze's leukemia is in remission, and his brother, Thomas Barnes, is a 100 percent match for a bone marrow transplant that will occur later this year.....

May the Gods bless him...get well Udeze and kill all the nonbelievers in you in 09!

This is exciting news for Keneche, his family and his fans.

The good Lord can truly bless via the power of prayer my friends.
Keep them coming for him as he still has a ways to go.
;D

It's amazing how these pro athletes can defeat serious illnesses.
ie) Jason Blake from the Toronto Maple Leafs played a whole season this year while treating Leukemia...given he only had to take some large pills every day- no chemo.
Get better Udeze...I can't wait to see his motor when he returns to the field from this illness.

Simply Amazing! What a wonderful thing it is. Glad to see this working! Good Luck Udeze. We Stand behind you!
