Good health news for former West Forsyth football player Trey Rood

Encouraging news for Trey Rood (AJC)

There’s more good news for former West Forsyth football player Trey Rood, who was diagnosed with life-threatening cancer (Stage IV metastatic melanoma) in June 2009.

All of Rood’s tumors in his chest area have shown to be stable or shrinking, while some have disappeared, after a recent battery of tests at Houston’s M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.

Rood also had an MRI on his brain which was clear. “Overall, he got an A+ from his doctor,” said Rood’s mother.

Kingdom Kids granted Rood a “wish” by providing tickets to the SEC Championship game.

Rood is a freshman at Georgia and returns to classes this week.
