Blues forward Cam Suafoa has declared himself ready to return to Super Rugby Pacific action, after seemingly winning his battle with cancer over recent months.
The 20-game veteran has been named on the bench for Friday's contest against Melbourne Rebels, after spending the last couple of months undergoing radiation treatment for high grade sarcoma.
Suafoa, 25, underwent surgery to remove a tumour from his back, but was healthy enough to play his blazer game against NSW Waratahs at Sydney in March, before his treatment began taking toll on his energy levels.
This week, he is buzzing at returning to his fulltime role with the Blues.
"Pretty excited," said Suafoa. "Good to be back in the team and with the boys at the Sunshine Coast, definitely looking forward to it.
"I've had time to spend with family and focus on my health, but being back now, I'm definitely keen to get into it and see how it goes."
