Kiwi prospect Fine Kula 'shocked' with support after brain cancer diagnosis

On January 30, the Cronulla Sharks player was diagnosed with grade-four medulloblastoma after complaining of constant headaches earlier in the month. 

On Monday, Kula underwent surgery to install a shunt that will reduce the excess fluid putting pressure on his skull. 

The 21-year-old is expected to return home next week before starting chemotherapy and radiation treatment later this month.
