qwerty Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2004/foot...ex.html?cnn=yes GULFPORT, Miss. (AP) -- Deanna Favre, the wife of Green Bay quarterback Brett Favre, has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Deanna Favre was recently released from Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York after undergoing a lumpectomy, Bonita Favre, Deanna's mother-in-law, told The Sun Herald on Monday. Deanna Farve will undergo chemotherapy treatments which could last up to five months and is expected to make a full recovery, Bonita Favre said. Favre was told about the cancer Oct. 14 and left practice to be with his family for a day prior to the Detroit Lions game on Oct. 17. "Brett was relieved to learn that the situation is not as bad as it could have been," Deanna's brother-in-law, Scott Favre said. "We think that they got (all of the cancer) out." It has been a difficult year for the Favre family. In December, Brett's father, Irvin, died from a heart attack. Deanna's brother, Casey Tynes, 24, was killed three weeks ago in an ATV accident on Brett Favre's land near his home in Oak Grove. Deanna is originally from the Kiln. She and Brett married in 1997. Deanna Favre runs the Brett Favre Fourward Foundation, which has raised more than $1 million for disadvantaged or disabled children who live in Wisconsin or Mississippi. "The family has been through a great deal and we will get through this," Bonita Favre said. "We would like to thank everyone for the prayers and support. We're a strong family and with the help of the Lord, we'll get through this." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 (edited) You really have to feel for the guy and his family. Prayers go out that she makes a full recovery. Edited October 26, 2004 by Queen Prawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 I hate the Packers, and because of that, I hate Favre(still wondering why it's pronouced farve it it looks like favor) But that's terrible news. His dad passes on last year, his brother in law(I think that's what it was) dies this year, and his wife is diagnosed with breast cancer? Regardless of whether or not the pack rebuild, I'm not sure how much Brett can take. This could be his last season in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 As much as Favre has b**** slapped the Bears over the years, he's always been one of my favorite players in the league. You just have to respect him for what he has done. I'm hoping this turns out well for Brett and his family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddisonStSox Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Brett Favre is my favorite player of all time(believe it or not I have his jersey on right now). We should consider ourselves lucky to have been able to watch him during his prime. I love that guy and everything he has done for football. Tough break, my prayers are with you my man.
