Cancer is often not found when we would like it to be found...it's F'n cancer... That's why Cancer sucks...

Trent Williams had MAJOR surgery. I don't believe everything we heard through the media, and again, team can't say their side of the story, while Trent can, so I factor that in. I watched Trent describe his operation, and he made it VERY clear publicly he thought the medical staff had been negligent. I don't know the truth, no one who isn't Trent or the staff does, but Trent's beef with us was about WAY more than money. Whether he was "right" or "wrong," I can't say, but it wasn't just a money grab. He felt (again right or wrong) the staff had contributed to his medical problems via negligence and this was a HUGE factor in his leaving.
