The football player’s mom, Jill Milne, had a hard time with her illness since she was diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer which was very serious right around when Dax was preparing for his first year of college football at BYU.
His mother informed him about her condition right before arriving at his college, which was hard on the player since he couldn’t be with his sick mother all the time.
Jill Milne’s cancer journey was challenging, but her positive mindset, along with the support from her family, helped her get through the hard times.
The NFL player’s mom had to visit the hospital every few months for surgeries and follow-ups for her colon cancer. After her surgery for colon cancer, the reports revealed that cancer had spread to her liver and lungs.
Despite things looking pretty grim, the family had a positive outlook. Finally, after an entire year of surgery and follow-up visits with chemotherapy, the athlete announced on his social media that his mom was cancer-free.
The announcement came right before the final game of BYU freshman season, where Dax performed great in 2018, for which he received lots of positive comments from his followers congratulating him for his and his mother’s win.
