al.com | **This is the Easter morning update on Auburn signee Shon Coleman, who is battling cancer. It's written by his mother, De Keishia Tunstall:
"First of all, I would like to wish everyone a Happy Easter!!! The last couple of days have been a walk in the park for Shon. No pain of any kind. He did have a little nausea yesterday morning, but he was able to keep his food down and take the medicine he was prescribed to relieve this symptom. His appointments Friday all went well, but I can tell this reality is setting in for him. I would watch him stare into space at times, and I know that he was thinking about the illness...Blood counts were all normal. Still no cancer in his blood, and that's indicative of what's going on in his bone marrow. He began this battle with cancer cells making up 60% of his bone marrow. Another test will be done during week 8. If it's 0%, were in remission."
So far so good. Let's keep him in our prayers.

so is this poor kid ever gonna get to play football or not? I realize right now he could care less but it sure would be a shame if talent like that doesnt get to see his dreams realized.

It's still pretty darn serious. But I certainly hope he gets healthy soon.

BC's Mark Herzlich will play next season after sitting out last year fighting cancer. Hopefully Coleman can get healthy quickly and do the same.

Thats good to hear, I hated oncology and refused to work there. I think cancer is my biggest fear.

I'd think redshirt this fall, and see what happens next year.

I wish the kid the very best of luck, that isn't something a child should ever have to deal with.
Posted on 4/4/10 at 6:21 pm to bamahater2010
Yeah I'm definitely pulling for him
