Former NBA player Jason Collins reveals Stage 4 cancer diagnosis
Former NBA player Jason Collins has broken his silence about his recent health problems, revealing in an ESPN interview that he is undergoing treatment for Stage 4 glioblastoma and may not have much longer to live.
Collins, the first active male athlete in a major U.S. team sport to come out as gay, said that a statement issued by his family in September that he was battling a brain tumor was "intentionally vague" at the time because "I was mentally unable to speak for myself."
Glioblastoma is one of the deadliest forms of cancer, Collins said, and without aggressive treatment, "I'd probably be dead within six weeks to three months."
