McCarthy: RSL Player's Wife Battles Rare Cancer
In the 2008 Real Salt Lake media guide, Andy Williams lists his most memorable moment as “seeing my wife for the first time,” his favorite hobby as “spending time with family,” and his favorite meal as “wife's cooking.”
Marcia Williams is Andy's wife. There's a good chance her media biography would likely say many of the same things about Andy that he says about her. One friend says Andy and Marcia (pronounced mar-CEE-ah) are one of those couples that restore a person's faith in marriage, a couple so totally and completely in love that their feelings for each other are etched on their faces every time they see one another.
So with that in mind, imagine the emotions etched on their faces when Marcia learned she had a rare form of leukemia last July. Imagine the emotions etched on their faces as Marcia went through six bone-marrow biopsies, the last of which turned up a rare abnormality that will make her leukemia harder to cure. Imagine the emotions etched on their faces next week when Marcia starts a round of chemotherapy treatments. Imagine the emotions etched on their faces as the series of painful treatments continues for 45 days with the knowledge that chemotherapy alone likely won't be enough.
