Jessica Breland is back at practice with UNC
Posted Feb 26, 2010
Jessica Breland, the Tar Heels' second-leading scorer and top rebounder a year ago, was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in May, and after six months of chemotherapy she was declared in remission in December. The forward has spent the past two months trying to regain her strength, even though she is not expected to return this season, and a couple of weeks ago began practicing with the Tar Heels.
