Mickelson’s mother diagnosed with breast cancer

SAN DIEGO (AP)—Six weeks after Phil Mickelson announced his wife had breast cancer, his mother was diagnosed with the disease and is to have surgery later this week.

The San Diego Union-Tribune reported on its Web site that Mary Mickelson discovered she had breast cancer last week. She is to have surgery Friday at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, the same hospital where Mickelson’s wife, Amy, had surgery last Wednesday.

Mickelson’s sister, Tina, told the newspaper she wanted to make her mother’s condition known so she could receive the same outpouring of support and prayers that meant so much to Amy Mickelson.

Mickelson has not spoken publicly since the U.S. Open where he was a runner-up for a record fifth time.

His parents live in the same San Diego house where they raised their three children. Mary Mickelson was honored in 1998 as “Mother of the Year” by the San Diego chapter of the March of Dimes. She said at the time, “I don’t know if I’ve done anything extra than other mothers. We’ve always been involved and have just been there.”


Mickelson said at Bethpage Black that it was “highly unlikely” he would play the British Open, and said his schedule the rest of the year depended on his wife’s battle with cancer.

That's fuckin' shitty.

wow. he needs to talk to the folks at fml

Sucks

Am I the only one who had been kind of put off by the Mickelson press conferences about his wifes cancer? He just seemed to be overly complimentary toward his wife. We get it, you love your wife and family and you are concerned and optimistic. I don't know, I found myself getting annoyed at him and I have always liked the guy.

yupppppppp....this is the same reason I've disliked Favre. Ever since his dad's death, and how he is an amazing person to keep playing blah blah blah...oooo my wife has breast cancer now, I'm; brett favre. fuck him. i still like Mickelson, though

wtf? ugh....poor family.

Poor Lefty Luckily he has the resources to provide them both with the best possible care.

Poor guy. One ilness in the family is draining enough, let alone two. Hopefully both get better quickly so he can get back to playing.

Am I an insensitive prick for pointing out the coincidence of Phil Mickelson's family being ravaged with breast cancer when he's got the biggest man boobs on the tour? Or am I so for other reasons? Probably a little bit of column A and a little bit of column B.

I guess some people would take offence at you mentioning Mickelson's moobs.
Cancer is a fucker it effects all of us at some point in our lives.
