Nov. 18--Notre Dame got some good news on Tuesday.
Graduate assistant and former Irish safety Kyle McCarthy said he is now cancer free, McCarthy announced in a statement on Twitter.
"Since being diagnosed with Stage 3 testicular cancer in July, I've had overwhelming support from so many people," McCarthy said. "I appreciate each and every one of your thoughts and prayers. This has truly been a humbling and eye-opening experience as I've undergone chemotherapy treatments and surgeries to fight this terrible disease."
McCarthy had remained in his duties with the team as much as possible as he underwent chemotherapy. Former Irish defensive back and receiver Pat Eilers also assisted the Irish coaching staff as McCarthy underwent treatment.
"Fortunately this type of cancer was treatable, and with the help of amazing doctors and nurses and incredible support from my family and friends, I was given a clean bill of health," McCarthy said. "I am officially cancer free."
