MikeT14 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/10/31/trent-williams-growth-on-head-was-cancer/ Quote Washington left tackle Trent Williams met with reporters on Thursday for the first time since returning to the team this week and provided details about the medical condition that played a major role in his decision to stay away from the team until Tuesday. Williams said he went to team doctors almost six years ago about the growth on his head that he wound up having removed this offseason. He said the doctors told him it was a minor condition at the time and he accepted that diagnosis while continuing to play. The growth continued to grow, however, and he sought other outside opinions earlier this year. That was when he learned he had Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans, which is a rare, soft-tissue cancer. “I had cancer. I had a tumor removed. It got pretty serious for a second. I was told some scary things by the doctor,” Williams said, via Kareem Copeland of the Washington Post. Williams did not pass his physical because he felt discomfort when he tried on his helmet on Wednesday and head coach Bill Callahan said on Thursday that the team is looking for a way to customize the helmet to fit Williams comfortably. Williams said “we’ll see how this helmet thing turns out,” but there are other issues as well. Williams suggested it would be crazy for him to play without having any guaranteed money on his contract. Williams, who is signed through next season, laughed when asked if he wanted to be traded in the offseason and said he has no trust for the organization, although he did say his relationship with team owner Dan Snyder is good. He also said he still loves football, although it appears to be anybody’s guess when Williams might be playing it again. But sure, those of you badmouthing Trent solely, and not an inept, terrible organization, keep on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they both are at fault --somewhere near equally. You don't sit on this condition for 6 years . OR, did they look at every year during his physical and say the same thing ? no Worries ! It's minor. Still--I think a prudent person would get a specialist opinion . Dr Robin West was just hired in June of 2016 so seems to be different regimes invovled also- Hellova mess all 'round for sure !

I am not saying he's free from blame, but this notion that it was about the money is looking more outlandish after today. He trusted the organization (too much), and it failed him miserably. He had a chance to die, so if he is overreacting, it's more understandable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THESKINSFAN21 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 He said it was about the contract as well so lets not completely feel bad for this guy. Misdiagnoses do happen often. You should always get a second opinion with growths especially if money is no object for you. A new contract would have brought him back so theres that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Redskins were absolutely at fault here, but Trent has multiple millions of dollars available to him, and allowed orthopedic doctors to diagnose something that an oncologist should've diagnosed. That's like your internet line hanging outside of your house, but you still take your computer to Apple because you can't get online. Those doctors do not have the specialty training that oncologists have to diagnose and treat that. Just the same way your primary care doctor would refer you for any number of ailments to a specialist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A common misdiagnosis sure, not one like this. Not something like cancer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
