The family of Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre is dealing with another setback. Favre's wife, Deanna, has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Deanna recently had a lumpectomy at Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York.

Favre's mother, Bonita, says Deanna will undergo chemotherapy for up to five months, and is expected to make a full recovery.

It's been a difficult year for the Favre family. Deanna's brother died in an ATV accident on Brett's Mississippi property earlier this month, and last December Brett's father died suddenly from a heart attack.
