Syracuse University basketball player Tiana Mangakahia has been diagnosed with cancer.

The senior guard and Australian native announced Monday that she has stage 2 breast cancer and will begin chemotherapy at the end of the week.

“I know this will be tough, but I will get through it,” Mangakahia said in a tweet. “This is just the beginning for me and I will come out stronger. I have much more to accomplish and I hope to inspire others to overcome their own adversity just like I know I will.”

“This is devastating news for Tiana and our entire Syracuse family. I am heartbroken," said SU head women's basketball coach Quentin Hillsman. "Tiana is a tough lady. She will have the complete support of everyone associated with our program as she goes through her treatment. Tiana is a grinder and I know she won’t back down from this challenge."
