Came across this on Facebook - former Tar Heel linebacker and 2002 seventh-round pick by the Giants has been diagnosed with Adenocarcinoma following his recovery from a stroke. Here's the text from a Go Fund Me page that has been set up to help support his family:
Please help us Heel our Giant - Quincy Monk
A Tar Heel and New York Giant
After recently suffering a stroke and seemingly making an incredible recovery. The Monk family was hit with another obstacle. The “C” word.
Quincy was diagnosed with Adenocarcinoma and it is very aggressive. Those who know Quincy understand that he would never ask for anything, and is always the guy who gives his all to help others. He has an amazing wife Lisa, and two beautiful children Naomi(5) and Aiden(3).
Please find it in your hearts to help one of the best guys we know fight the fight of his life. Please help Quincy and his family during this difficult time.

I know right. I get a little idea of that, because before my cancer I had a heart attack in 2010 and diagnosed in 11'
I hope Quincy gets through this. It sucks
