KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- UT Men's Basketball Vol Chris Lofton has battled and beaten testicular cancer, according to GoVolsXtra's Mike Griffith.
Griffith reports on GoVolsXtra.com that Lofton had a cancerous tumor removed from one of his testicles in March 2007.
The cancer was discovered during a random NCAA-mandated drug test, according to Griffith.
"When I first heard that word, ‘cancer,’ I thought I was going to die,” Lofton told Griffith Thursday.
“I wanted to fight through it,’’ Lofton explained. “There were times I wanted to say something, but I wanted my teammates to stay focused on the season.’’
Lofton is reportedly now cancer-free.
