The Als quarterback and team leader had recently undergone surgery to remove his thyroid gland and recently completed follow up radiation treatments from that surgery.
Such has been the positive reaction to those treatments that Calvillo's surgeon, Dr. Roger Tabah believes that the Alouette will fully recover.
Calvillo provided an update on his situation and touched on how cancer had previously touched his family in a press conference in Montreal.
As for the football aspect of the story, while it means that the rest of the CFL's members teams will have to make plans to counter his skills at Quarterback, we're thinking that it's unanimous among those teams that his successful result from his surgery is something they are more than happy to have to deal with.
Beyond the obvious that CFL fans will be happy to hear that his health issues have had a successful result, the prospect of him continuing on with his stellar career on the field will offer up more thrills for fans across the league.
