Senators GM Bryan Murray on Stage 4 colon cancer: 'There is no cure for me at this point'

Ottawa Senators general manager Bryan Murray says he is losing a battle against Stage 4 colon cancer.

Murray revealed he will not be able to conquer the disease in a segment that aired Thursday on TSN.

"The word is we’ll keep doing chemo and, hopefully, reduce the tumors and the effect and I’ll get some time out of that," he said. "There is no cure for me at this point."

Doctors also told Murray the cancer had been living in his body for seven to 10 years before it was caught.

"The frustrating part – and I’ve said this to several doctors since then – is, ‘How come there were no signs?’" Murray asked.

“When you hear that you've had cancer for possibly up to 10 years and there were no signs ... obviously, because of the Stage 4, it had moved through my body."

Murray also stressed the importance of visiting your doctor regularly. 

"A simple colonoscopy, in my case, probably would have solved the problem that I have," he said.
