Yuvraj Singh's father and former cricketer Yograj Singh spoke about his son's ongoing battle with cancer and said the cricketer was responding well to the treatment in the United States.
"Yuvi is recovering well from treatment for cancer in USA. And the doctors there say he will come back stronger," Yograj said.
Yuvraj's tumour that was detected in October last year was first thought to be benign has been found to be malignant. He is being treated by the same doctor who treated legendary cyclist Lance Armstrong, who was diagnosed with Stage 3 testicular cancer in 1996. The cyclist recovered to go on to win the sport's most prestigious race, the Tour de France, an unprecedented seven times.
Yuvraj's ailment was diagnosed at the first stage. "He is responding well to treatment. In fact the doctor keeps asking him if he belongs to a very strong bloodline," Yuvraj's father said.
