Former Springbok coach didn’t miss any of his daughter’s chemo sessions | Health24com
Former Springbok Rugby Coach, Peter de Villiers, never missed any of his daughter's chemo sessions. ~
“For about three months I coughed and coughed. I didn’t feel well at all,” Odille says. She started wondering if she had tuberculosis and had herself tested for the disease. She’s still feeling exhausted after Wednesday’s final chemo session, Odille says. “The hardest is that I’m struggling to keep my eyes open. And my hair started falling out again. But I’m truly relieved that it was my last session.”“It’s a miracle and of course a huge relief,” she says.
“But the Lord gave us the strength to get through this. She was at death’s door but her faith gave us all strength,” says the former Bok coach, who’s deeply religious. “Sometimes, I’d get a fright at the sight of myself in a mirror,” he laughs, before continuing on a more serious note.
