    Alabama DH Kindred diagnosed with cancer

    Best wishes and prayers for a full recovery.

    2theadvocate.com | Sports | Alabama DH Kindred diagnosed with cancer — Baton Rouge, LA

    ATLANTA — Alabama designated hitter David Kindred has been diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a form of cancer.
    The university announced Kindred’s illness Wednesday and said he will miss the NCAA Atlanta Regional which begins on Friday.
    The junior left the Southeastern Conference tournament last Friday after experiencing shortness of breath and chest pains.
    Alabama says the disease was caught in the early stages and the odds for a full and complete recovery are high.
    Kindred met with the teammates before they left for Atlanta on Wednesday morning. He says he doesn’t want to be a distraction for the Tide and that he’s optimistic that treatment will go well and he’ll be able to rejoin the team in the fall.

    Despise the Gumps inside the lines. Hope this kid fights through it, because he doesn't deserve anything like this. Best Wishes.

    Can't link story because I'm on my phone but it's on ESPN website. He won't be playing in tourny.

    I hope he fights and wins his battle. Hopefully his experience in college baseball will give him the mental strength and endurance he needs to get through this. He should have a pretty darn large support group to help him. :thumb:
