Darryl "Big Marn" Brohman, a cherished figure in rugby league, has disclosed that he is facing a battle with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a cancer that impacts the lymphatic system.
The 69-year-old shared this heartfelt news during an interview with 2GB's Mark Levy, mentioning that he had been feeling unwell for several weeks prior to undergoing tests that led to the diagnosis.
"I've been a bit crook for the last six weeks or so," Brohman expressed.
"It's a form of cancer and I've started treatment.
"I start chemo on Monday, there's about a 21-day period between each session, and I've got six or seven rounds to go."
In spite of the challenging news, Brohman maintains a positive outlook.
"It's not great news, but the doctors tell me it's very treatable and on the lower scale," he shared.
