Mason Crosby’s Wife Molly Beat Lung Cancer During Packers’ Season They saw a little spot on her lung, and while they weren’t overly worried, there was some concern. Our friend who is a thoracic surgeon here in Green Bay ran us through what they found: There was a tumor on the lower lobe of her right lung. It was a tricky surgery, lasting over five hours, with the spine and heart being close to the tumor. Crosby said he planned on returning to Georgetown to be with his brother and the entire family. Another reason we picked Mayo was that our surgeon there, Shanda Blackmon, had done a similar surgery before and was confident that she wouldn’t have to take the whole lobe out but could instead do a segmental resection.The next day, Saturday, was an amazing day. Our surgeon, Shanda Blackmon, had done a similar surgery before and was confident that she wouldn’t have to take the whole lobe out but could instead do a segmental resection.”The next day, the Crosbys learned that not only was Molly’s surgery was successful, but he also received a call from Packers’ head coach Matt LeFleur confirming he’d be joining the team for the 2019-20 season. But it also felt selfish to be able to come to the facility, be with my teammates and not have to think about Molly’s upcoming surgery for a few hours. I looked at Molly and said, “Well, this is either good or bad news, so we are just going to roll with it.” It was head coach Matt LaFleur with more good news—I was coming back to Green Bay for my 13th season.

Some preliminary exams in Green Bay showed a spot on her right lung. Then, we had this moment of connection between us: We are doing this together, we are going to fight this, whatever we need to do, in the best way possible.”Molly’s surgery to remove the tumor was delayed after doctor’s found a large blood clot in the vein to her ovaries and noticed numerous small tumors on her liver, which would also need to be biopsied.
I had peace in my heart about my job, I just wanted to make sure my family was taken care of, and I could feel that from the organization as well. That news was so amazing. At that point, for the first time in about a month and a half, we sat, took a deep breath (well I did at least… Molly had two chest tubes at that point) and relaxed. We scheduled a CT scan, and that’s when we knew something was up.We got a call after the doctors had looked at the results, and they asked us to come in together. Two days before I reported to Packers’ training camp, we went to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., for additional scans and pathology testing. It was a good-sized tumor, about two centimeters across, tucked in a spot close to her spine and near her heart.”A biopsy showed that Molly’s tumor was a neuroendocrine tumor, and because they caught it early, doctors said that it wasn’t yet metastatic. I am enjoying my teammates and coming into work, and then being full invested in my family. Leading up to the surgery, Molly was tired and experiencing shortness of breath, but otherwise we were rolling in our normal routine. His sister-in-law's death follows an emotional year for Crosby as his wife, Molly, was diagnosed with a rare form of lung cancer this summer. Two days before Packers’ training camp started, Molly went to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, for additional scans and pathology testing.Crosby recalled, “At that moment we had time to sit, just the two of us, before the chaos of training camp, and digest the fact that Molly was going to have a significant surgery. I previously lost my grandfather to lung cancer in 2004 and my grandmother to uterine cancer in May ’12. We don’t let the cancer become our focus, but instead we allow it to shift our priorities by putting the things that really matter front and center in our lives and by being fully present each and every moment with the people who matter most. We had a peace about it, thinking about the wonderful blessings that we did have, and we saw some silver linings in those things.I was preparing for the last preseason game, in serious competition for my job, the week of Molly’s surgery. We have five kids, so you can't put life on hold. They also saw what looked like several small tumors on her liver and wanted to biopsy those prior to the lung surgery as well. Crosby played college football at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
I played in the game Thursday night, jumped on a plane Friday morning and arrived at the hospital when Molly was checking in and doing pre-op stuff.
Crosby’s wife Molly was diagnosed with a rare form of lung cancer this summer and underwent surgery the day after the Packers’ final preseason game. To have her there, and to have a game like that, and to finish it off the way we did (Crosby kicked a game-winning field goal as time expired)—I couldn’t have asked for a better way to cap off Molly’s recovery. “Then she was in surgery a couple hours later. Crosby’s wife, Molly, also had a medical scare of her own this year.
