Craig Anderson returned to the Senators Friday morning and sent a thank you to the hockey world for the support his family has received after his wife Nicholle’s cancer diagnosis.
In a joint statement released Friday, Craig and Nicholle shed a little more light on what his wife is going through after being diagnosed with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
The statement said she has already started treatments at Memorial Sloane Kettering Cancer Centre in New York.
She will undergo both chemotherapy and radiation.
“First and most importantly, we want to take this opportunity to thank the entire hockey world for the tremendous support following Nicholle’s cancer diagnosis. We would also like to express our gratitude to the Ottawa Senators organization, from Eugene Melnyk to Pierre Dorion, coach Boucher and the players, to the other wives, girlfriends and fans who have gone to great lengths to allow us both to battle this together,” the statement said.
The Anderson’s said the best way people can show support is perhaps making a donation to their local cancer society.
“Many people have approached us about asking how they can support us during this challenging time. We simply ask for your thoughts and well wishes and that those who choose to, continue to support their local Cancer Society for research on how to cure this disease,” Craig and Nicholle said.
They know that people would like to hear from them but they’d like to this statement to be everything they say on the subject.
“While we understand the public nature of Craig’s position, we kindly ask for your discretion in allowing both of us to take on this challenge privately. Should there be any updates or information in the future we will work with the Ottawa Senators to pass these along. Thank you for all your love and support.”
