Insider Notebook: Genaro Defeats Cancer, Margarito Appeal

[F l i c k e r]

Awesome thing for Genaro.

Great news for Genaro and on the opposite side of the spectrum is the lowly Margarito, that is now going to use the ignorance plea.

Its going to work too. America loves appeals and pleas. With the help of Roach, Margarito's sentence will be shortened. Remember the Vick plea? Only got a year for a felony crime. Margarito's trainer is gonna get thrown under the bus though.

By Robert Morales - It was 3:15 p.m. Wednesday on the West Coast. The phone rang and it was longtime publicist Bill Caplan calling from M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Seconds later, Caplan handed the phone over to former junior lightweight world champion Genaro "Chicanito" Hernandez, who for the past six months has been battling rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare soft-tissue cancer.

To say Hernandez had good news would be an understatement of gargantuan proportions.

"I have no more tumor in my sinus area," said Hernandez, who spoke in whispered tones because the radiation treatments damaged his vocal chords. "The doctor today told me that the cancer seems to have been defeated. I got the final result 15 minutes ago. The only thing they're worried about is that I am still weighing only about 120 pounds and I that I have to continue the chemotheraphy treatments."

We spoke to Hernandez for about 10 minutes, during which time he briefly cried.

"Oh, wow, tears of joy," said Hernandez, when asked his first thoughts when his doctor gave him the good news. "I was thinking about all the support, the people that have prayed for me. It was God's will for me to survive what at one point was a deadly disease. [details]

[THE REED]

Great news!!!! He wasnt looking good there for awhile....

Sometimes something like this can not only kill ur body, but kill your will... He is underweight, but this news will help to give him some light at the end of the tunnel and get his mind right again I hope... and give him some more determination to finish it all out safely....

Thank God that he's ok! I wish him and his family nothing but the best. The only thing I didn't like was that they put that lowlife Margacheato's name in the same sentence with the name of a "TRUE WARRIOR" like Chicanito.
