On Wednesday, the Brooks family, LSU and Our Lady of the Lake Health announced that Tigers defensive back [autotag]Greg Brooks Jr.[/autotag], who underwent a procedure last month to remove a brain tumor, had been diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a rare form of brain cancer.
According to the statements, the surgery successfully removed the brain tumor, and there is no evidence the cancer has spread. Brooks’ speech and ability to communicate have been impacted, however, and he faces “months of intensive rehabilitation.”
