"Spent Sun & Mon in LA at UCLA m*edical Health (Ronald Reagan H*ospital) doing health test. I would not usually do this but this I need to share. Growing up in the ghetto of Ft Lauderdale the one thing you have to conquer to get out is FEAR. I did! As a football player the no fear gift served me well as a blessing and an asset on the field but sometimes off the field it’s been a curse and a liability. This past football season after the @dallascowboys beat the @Saints I was so elated and hyped I lost my voice and the problem persisted for almost 2months. After visiting some of the best throat D*octors they thought it to be wise to take a deeper look at the situation. So we schedule and performed a throat b*iopsy. To give background I share with you that I lost my father at the young age of 51. He had throat c*ancer.
This d*aemon has ch*ased and v*exed me deep in my spirit all my life. So saying I am a*fraid this time is a big big understatement. I AM T*ERRIFIED!! My Faith tells me whenever you face great fear you go to your greatness power. Mine is God. I am asking all who will. Could you please send up a prayer to help my family and I deal with whatever the results may be? Thanks for your thoughts and prayers in advance🙏🏾🙏🏾I will continue to pray for your fams protection and prosperity as well. May God Bless us all 🙏🏾🙏🏾"
