John Hartson has brain cancer
LONDON - FORMER Arsenal and Celtic striker John Hartson was scheduled to begin chemotherapy treatment Monday after being diagnosed with brain cancer.
The 34-year-old Hartson was diagnosed on Sunday after going to a hospital in Wales because of severe headaches, The Sun newspaper said.
'If anyone can beat this, I can,' Hartson said.
The former Wales international was told by doctors that testicular cancer had spread to his brain.
Before enjoying five seasons at Celtic from 2001, Hartson played for Luton, Arsenal, West Ham, Wimbledon and Coventry. He retired last year after being released by West Bromwich Albion and has been working as a TV pundit and a columnist for The Sun.
'Everyone at the club fully supports John and his family at this extremely difficult time,' Celtic said. 'It is very difficult for us to understand what John is going through at the moment, but we will offer any support we can to a great Celtic player.
'The thoughts and prayers of the entire Celtic family are with John at this time.' -- AP |
