Hoping that medicine and science and all the amazing advancements in treating/curing cancer work to a successful outcome. Trusting the Pelphreys have access to top notch health care which will certainly help! Pelphreys got this!

I know this family pretty well. Really close to Tracy’s brother, they are really good people. I hate this and prayers are with them.

The good news: we have great treatments for colon cancer, especially if caught soon.

The reality: it's still cancer and it's always a fight.

I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Prayers for them.

I think I heard the announcers during the UK game say that she delayed treatment to support the basketball team?


is that right? If so I'm scratching my head at that.

I mean it is Kentucky basketball. I’d probably do the same.

I mean what do you do?

You got my prayers. Praying the Lord Jesus heals this fantastic lady. I pray that you give extra strength to the Pelphrey's during this time of battle with cancer. You are Big Blue and always will be. Mr Pelphrey was my favorite unforgettable. Love you guys.

I love UK

and I'm not judging John or his wife, hell I may not have even heard what the announcer said correctly

but if my spouse gets sick, I'm not prioritizing anything else but their health. That's just me.

hope for the best of John and his wife, great representative of UK his entire career.

Im the guy that said if it meant we went on a UCLA run and put 10 titles together that fast, I’d divorce my wife and give up 2-5 years of salary. I’m probably not the guy to comment on these matters.

No she just finished her 4th chemo and is scheduled for a 5th to be followed by a pet scan to check status

John, I will keep Tracy and you in my prayers. My wife had cancer and was undergoing chemo during the pandemic. It is difficult to watch someone you love having to go through it. You feel helpless but I think your support will be needed as the patient will require all that you can offer. It would be horrible to journey through this without a trusted and loved companion. The plan appears very current and fervently wish for success and complete healing.
