It was the biggest milestone in Lacy’s football career and his support system was right there with him to celebrate it.The first thing Tyler did after the call was hug his mom, Veronica.
Veronica detected a lump in her left breast when she was 37 years old. A doctor told her not to worry because he said women didn’t need to have mammograms until age 40. But she knew something was wrong. Veronica’s mother had died of pancreatic cancer, which put her even more on edge about her own discovery. Ultimately, she found a different doctor. After a mammogram, a biopsy confirmed that she had breast cancer.
“A rough time right now, but then you’ll see the light of day,” he said. “It will come, just keep your head down, keep pushing, and keep the main thing, the main thing. Love and support each other.”
