Super Bowl Contention Sweeter Through Cancer Survivorship

[By Joni Watson, MSN, MBA, RN, OCN®]

My world and my husband’s world col­lided Mon­day night as ESPN broke for a com­mer­cial while teas­ing view­ers about a Mark Her­zlich tweet. Oh, oh! I know that!

If you’re unfa­mil­iar with Mark Her­zlich, he’s a New York Giants line­backer, now a Super Bowl con­tender, and a Ewing’s sar­coma sur­vivor. It was a stop-​​in-​​the-​​moment-​​and-​​take-​​that-​​in kind of tweet. See for yourself.
