'She’s been going through a lot — a lot of intensive treatment. But the prognosis is good.
He also hope that the fact that he led the New England Patriots to a miraculous comeback win at Super Bowl LI on Sunday will help encourage his mother in fighting the disease.
Brady added: 'She’s not quite through it yet, but hopefully there was some healing energy from our game last night.'

The professional athlete revealed in the new interview that the chemotherapy and radiation treatments prevented both of his parents from attending his games throughout this season.
He explained: 'She’s been through a lot, my dad’s been through a lot — it’s been a really hard year for them.'

Brady added: '[Galynn] didn’t make it back to a game all season, it was so hard for her. But I just wanted her to get her rest.'
Though he once feared that his mom wouldn't be able to make it to the big game on Sunday, the fact that she was in attendance made his fifth victory in the Super Bowl even more special.
'She's the best mom in the world,' Brady said. 'It's nice to win for her - nice for her to be there. We love her so much.'
