BLK Jeez diagnosed with cancer

[Chris]

NWA wrestler BLK Jeez has been diagnosed with a form of cancer known as multiple myeloma, and a fundraiser has been established to help him with expenses.

According to the GoFundMe, Jeez (Darnell Kittrell) visited a doctor after months of what he thought was a back strain that only intensified in pain over time.

It was learned through blood work that he had multiple myeloma -- a cancer that forms in plasma cells. With this form, cancerous plasma cells accumulate in bone marrow and crowd out healthy blood cells.

It's an incurable form of cancer and additional treatments will be needed when it returns. He is also recovering from multiple back fractures that had him in a back brace and assisted walker at one point.

Money raised through the GoFundMe will help with lost wages due to him receiving treatment. In addition to wrestling, he also has a job in addition to a fiance and a four-year-old daughter.

From the GoFundMe:

"This cancer may be aggressive but Darnell is a fighter that looks at a challenge with steel in his eyes. He will fight this and we as a community need to not only cheer him on but show him that we stand with him and support him."

FFS, that is terrible. Hopefully he gets the treatment he needs to beat it. I really haven't been exposed to the guy, but I know that type of cancer is really invasive.
