no way.

not something to be lying about this time around, MKC.

This sucks. I always loved Jerome and still rooted for him after he left.

Man, thoughts and prayers. What a horrible situation

Damn, that sucks. Best wishes Jerome,you can beat this. :)

interesting take from schefter’s twitter (summary): without the trade, there’s no physical; without the physical, there’s no tumor find; without the tumor find, his life is REALLY in danger. so, in effect, being traded may have saved jerome’s life.

life is weird.

Thoughts and prayers. Good Luck Jerome.

seriously. its crazy they found this.

I’m far from a medical person, so if there are any who are knowledgeable when it comes to stuff like this, please help me: with the delicate nature of the brain, wouldn’t there be symptoms of a mass growing on it? (severe headaches, dizziness, etc.)

Also, of course, best of luck to Jerome. Life is precious.

Eventually. But by that point, the outlook gets pretty bad.

Look at your list of symptoms again and ask yourself if those things would be as noticeable for an NFL running back as in a “normal person”.

I hear now he was having headaches but probably thought he’d got his bell rung.

But Daniel is right, by the time a brain tumor starts getting big enough to press on things, it is usually a very bad thing.
