Premier League footballer David Brooks says paracetamol request led to cancer diagnosis
Premier League footballer David Brooks has said a request for paracetamol from a Wales team doctor led to him being diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma.
The AFC Bournemouth midfielder said his club noticed deteriorating performances for several weeks before the diagnosis in October 2021. He said the Welsh doctor ordered cancer tests after hearing about his sudden weight loss and night sweats., Brooks recalled meetings with former AFC Bournemouth manager Scott Parker."I was always one of the lower ones in terms of distance covered or sprints. It carried on for probably one or two months."The midfielder said he suffered a severe drop in weight, losing 6-7kg in two weeks, and was also kept awake by night sweats.
Brooks was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkin lymphoma, requiring fortnightly chemotherapy which left him "barely able to get out of bed". He was given the all clear in May 2022 and has twice appeared for AFC Bournemouth's first team as a substitute since March."I think it's probably mellowed me a little bit. You realise that football has been my life for 24 years before I got diagnosed and it all meant nothing in a brief moment."
