That is the word out of Chapel Hill via 850 the Buzz:
As a result of a recent routine dental examination with his dentist, North Carolina head coach Butch Davis had a small growth removed from his gum, which pathology tests revealed to be non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. There is no evidence of the cancer spreading, but Davis has chosen to undergo chemotherapy at the advice of his doctors.
Best wishes and prayers to Coach Davis and his family during this difficult time and for a speedy, cancer free recovery.
