Brad Marchand Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Same type of cancer Jason Blake had. Also seems intent on playing through it like Blake: Kick cancer's ass, Boyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NutsBoutNucks Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Wishing Brian Boyle all the strength and good fortunes with his medication regimen! After being diagnosed with AML, a failed stem cell transplant and four different courses of chemotherapy, I have had the misfortune of progressing to CML-RAEB1 and am aware of every hardship and effect Brian could possibly face. Now that I'm resigned to supportive care and struggling with high levels of fatigue, I'm at least able to enjoy our emerging Canuck prospects and a hopeful future! I could only dream of getting back to some crash and bang hockey from just a few short years ago. It's a tough fight for players like Boyle and Blake to play through, and my admiration helps build optimism for my own fight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Good news! Brian Boyle’s cancer is in remission. "A test (BCR-ABL1) looks for the leukemia cells in your blood and when I was first diagnosed, it was at 75 percent. At the end of last season, it was at .08 percent, and in July I was .04 percent. The results showed all zeros on Monday. It's full molecular remission, and I feel really good.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
