‘It gets it off your mind’: Brewers fan fighting cancer hoping for playoff success 

MUSKEGO, Wis (CBS 58) - Jason Hall has lived in the Milwaukee area for his entire life and grew up with the Brewers. 

“I was in sixth grade I think in '82 when they went to the world series against the St. Louis Cardinals,” Hall said. 

In 1992, Hall was in an accident and hit his head, inverting his neck, and injuring his spine.

“I ended up having a spinal cord injury that severed my spinal cord,” Hall said. “I'm quadriplegic so I have no use of my lower legs and just some use of my upper body, so it changed my life forever from there.”

This year Hall spent 45 days in the hospital before he found out he had thyroid cancer. In September he had his thyroid and some lymph nodes taken out.

He is now waiting for blood test results to come back to show if the cancer is gone. 

“If I don’t have cancer then I’m cancer free, that's great we can celebrate and I’m sure they’re going to monitor things for the rest of my life but if we do then I’m gonna need some radiation,” Hall said. 

Waiting on the results would weigh heavy on anyone's mind, but Hall has been able to use the Brewers as a distraction. 

“I had the surgery on the 22nd of September and that was a Monday and I was at the Brewers game on a Saturday night,” Hall said. “Through this time period it’s been great to have the Brewers.”

Hall will be at game five against the Cubs on Saturday, Oct. 11, and hopes the Brewers can stay alive to stick around as a distraction for just a little bit longer. 

“It gets it off your mind, you’re just there for three hours to have some fun to be there with friends or family and watch the players you love playing baseball,” Hall said.
