Former NFL quarterback Alex Smith told fans Saturday that his daughter underwent brain surgery for a “very rare malignant tumor.”
The 38-year-old former player revealed the terrifying event on Instagram, saying that his youngest daughter, Sloane, was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor in May.“On May 10th, Sloane was rushed to the ER with stroke-like symptoms,” Smith wrote in his post. “She had an MRI and the doctors quickly informed us that she had a large brain tumor and needed an emergency craniotomy. … The incredible neurosurgeons @stanforchildrens did a miraculous job and were able to remove 100% of the tumor.
“Sloane — in her true form — bounced back from brain surgery like a rockstar! She didn’t skip a beat,” he added. “After weeks of waiting on pathology, we learned that Sloane’s tumor is a very rare malignant tumor with very few documented cases — without a clear road map for treatment. We are currently awaiting more tests and gathering as many opinions as we can from doctors across the country to decide the best path forward.
