The D'Back left handed starter has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer, DAMN! Poor guy.

PHOENIX -- In Doug Davis' mind, there was no way he was not going to take the Chase Field mound on Friday night.
That kind of grit and determination will serve the D-backs left-hander well as he faces his toughest opponent yet: cancer.

Davis was diagnosed this week with thyroid cancer, but he insisted on making his scheduled start in Friday's exhibition game against the Rockies. The 32-year-old plans on making his first two starts of the year, April 3 against the Reds in Cincinnati and April 8 against the Dodgers at home before undergoing surgery to remove the mass on April 10. Dr. Bob Evani will perform the procedure.

I read this yesterday. It's too bad. I did read though that people who are diagnosed with this kind of cancer can be cured or can manage it. That's good news.

I also read this yesterday.  My first thought was, "He'll kick its ass."
