The wife of Blues General Manager Larry Pleau -- Wendy, felt some pain in her back and assumed she had a kidney stone in 2006. Doctors then discovered a tumor and diagnosed her with Burkitt’s, a rare type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Over the next several months, Wendy would endure four sequences of chemotherapy, which was an aggressive form of treatment for aggressive type of cancer.
"Larry compared it to the Stanley Cup playoffs," Wendy said. "He kept me battling, along with friends, family, alumni, the fans, the team, just everybody. It was just amazing." The chemotherapy was a success, and Wendy was presented with a cardboard cutout of the Stanley Cup for emerging victorious in her battle with serious illness.
