Summary
- Alex Singleton's cancer was detected through a mandatory NFL drug test.
- The detected hormone led him to realize the possibility of cancer.
- Singleton played through diagnosis and is recovering quickly.
Denver Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton recently revealed his testicular cancer diagnosis, which was surprisingly discovered via a mandatory NFL drug test earlier this season. The test detected human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), prompting Singleton to research the hormone and realize the serious implications.
Faced with the possibilities of a suspension or battling cancer, Singleton scheduled a doctor's appointment. After an ultrasound, the diagnosis was confirmed, and he underwent surgery. Remarkably, Singleton played in two NFL games after his diagnosis, including a Thursday night game the night before his surgery, driven by his desire to play football.
His surgery was successful, with no signs of cancer spread. Singleton has since shared his experience with teammates and highlighted the importance of his support network and proactive health measures. He is recovering quickly and aims to return to the field within a month of his diagnosis.
