The only thing Oskar Lindblom is thinking about right now is trying to help the San Jose Sharks win hockey games. Cancer isn’t even on his radar.
“I go every fourth month,” for a scan, Lindblom said last week. “It’s a regular thing. Nothing that I really think about.”
In December 2019, Lindblom, then 23 and an up-and-coming forward for the Philadelphia Flyers, was enjoying a career season with 18 points in 30 games when he was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma, a type of bone cancer. He began treatment immediately and was sidelined for the rest of the regular season.
