Broncos passing game specialist Zack Grossi fighting cancer found in chest cavity: “The diagnosis is scary, but the good news is it’s highly treatable”

A member of the Broncos coaching staff has stepped away from work to fight an aggressive form of cancer.

Denver passing game specialist Zack Grossi, who is in his third year on the Broncos’ staff, started chemotherapy recently after he was discovered to have a yolk sac tumor in his chest.

Grossi, 35, said in a message shared with the team’s website that he first started feeling off a few months ago.

From his message:

“For the last three months, I felt a little bit off, and recently, I began to have trouble breathing. Last week, I went to the Broncos’ medical staff, and they told me we needed to run several tests. I underwent bloodwork and a scan, and that’s when they found the tumor in my chest cavity.

“Officially, I have been diagnosed with a Yolk Sac Tumor.

“The diagnosis is scary, but the good news is it’s highly treatable. I began chemotherapy this week, and after a few more months of chemo, I’ll have surgery to remove the remaining tumor.
My approach isn’t so different than getting ready for a game. I’ll stay the course, keep working and keep grinding. Day by day is my motto. I have marching orders from my doctors, and I’m trusting the process.”
