Amazing! Obviously he comes from a very good family. Coach Ferry comes off really good here as well.

Best wishes to DC for total remission. Through ups and downs on the court he has always battled to the end and through that quiet, inner fight he perseveres in this much more important fight off the court.
 

great story. that kid is a fighter! A real role model..

el duque-- i know vic the trainer personally, as he was once my trainer, and I couldnt think of a better guy to have on the sidelines for the dukes watching over them and taking care of him. they are very lucky indeed to have him

What a great article. A testament to the wonderful person Derrick is. And finally a positive thread on this site. I commend those who have acknowledged the perspective and bounderies this story transcends.

 

Best wishes to DC.  What a determined young man; glad he's on our side.  It certainly helped that he had a great support system in his parents, family, church and the Dukes' basketball coaches/teammates.  Pretty amazing that he was performing at a high level during summer league shortly after his treatment ended and was declared cancer free.
