Landry Undergoing Treatment for Leukemia
Tom Landry, who took the Dallas Cowboys to five Super Bowls, has been diagnosed with leukemia, and is undergoing chemotherapy.
Former quarterback Roger Staubach, who won two Super Bowls with the Cowboys, said Saturday that Alicia Landry, wife of the 74-year-old Hall of Fame coach, said doctors diagnosed the disease Monday.
“I talked to Alicia, and she said a blood test showed signs of anemia and that Tom had a form of leukemia,” Staubach said. “She said he had a good shot at remission because they caught it in the early stages.
“She said the doctors were on top of the situation.”
Landry has been undergoing chemotherapy in the first week of his hospital treatment, said Staubach, who would not say where Landry was being treated.
“They aren’t sure how long he will be in the hospital,” Staubach said.
