Bengals defensive tackle Devon Still said last week that his daughter, Leah, "hit a pretty serious complication" in her fight against cancer. 

Leah has been battling the disease for nearly a year, so Devon decided to mark the significant date by getting a portrait of Leah on his back.

Devon Still said the complication occurred from a stem cell transplant in a previous Instagram post. It was caught early, though, and Still added "hopefully it gives the doctors a better chance of stopping it from getting aggressive."

Leah has been in remission following chemotherapy and surgery, but her treatment has continued to prevent cancer cells from returning.
