Sad news...
Hopefully he'll be sorted out soon. I hate it when sportsmen (or anyone for that matter) get ill. They contribute to all of our lives in such a positive way with sport.
Yuvraj Singh has been diagnosed with cancer and is currently undergoing chemotherapy in the United States of America. A member of Yuvraj's medical team said that Yuvraj's condition is called "mediastinal seminoma," a germ-cell tumour located between his two lungs. The condition, the doctor said, is neither lung cancer nor a tumour that had spread into the lungs. Mediastinal seminoma is a rare tumour which forms less than 1% of cancers on the whole.
The doctor, a medical oncologist from Delhi who did not wish to be named, said: "We are very lucky to know that this is a seminoma variety of germ-cell tumour which are mostly curable with therapy and moreover would be unlikely to cause any detriment to Yuvraj's career in the long term."
On Wednesday Yuvraj will begin the third of his nine weeks of chemotherapy in the USA. "In the first few days Yuvi may not feel very good," the doctor said, "he may feel nauseous, but starting this week he will be on the mend and may even do a bit of training as he improves, under the guidance of a specialist physiotherapist from the BCCI"
Get well fella!
