DevilDog Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Wow couldn't believe it when I saw this photo of him. Fighting a terrible disease Millen’s down around 50 pounds in the past year, chasing a cure for a disease called amyloidosis that is particularly evil: He needs debilitating chemotherapy now to fight amyloid, a rogue protein that attacks organs (his heart, in this case). Because the amyloid is attacking his heart, he’ll eventually need a heart transplant to have a chance to live many more years. Millen fights for his life: ‘It’s getting late. We need a big stop’ https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/05/14/matt-millen-sick-amyloidosis-detroit-lions-mmqb-peter-king 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sausmann9 Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Super good guy for sure. Went to same high school as Saquon Barkley. His kid was a beast in high school at Easton PA. Very sad to hear. His farmhouse in Durham PA is SWEET!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bormio Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Bad disease - fairly uncommon, often missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His career was in full swing when I came to the USA many years ago. Hope he gets through this and has a few more good years on planet earth!

Just remember him as the big tough LB for the Raiders and 49ers. I hope he prevails as well sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
