Today is 100 days since his successful bone-marrow transplant
Great news as Brumbies and Wallabies star Christian Lealiifano is in remission after leukaemia treatment.
“I had some really dark days where things got tough and all those negative thoughts come into your mind, the ‘why me’ and ‘should I just give up’ type stuff, but to be able to come out the other side of that has been quite an amazing thing,” he told Fairfax Media.
It has been 100 days since the Brumbies co-captain underwent a successful bone marrow transplant in Melbourne and his recovery is going well.
“It’s an absolute blessing to be able to do what we do for a living so I appreciate that more now and life in general.”
