Chiefs GM: Eric Berry's battle with cancer going well
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...cer-going-well

Eric Berry's battle with Hodgkin lymphoma is going well, according to Kansas City Chiefs general manager John Dorsey.


"Well, anybody who knows Eric Berry knows that if there's a challenge presented to him, he will attack it with a vengeance," Dorsey told Sirius XM NFL Radio on Tuesday. "And he will do that. Everything that I have gotten back has been very positive. I have not spoken with him on the phone for probably six weeks, but I have texts. We communicated through texts. He's in good spirits, he's fine, he's driving, and he's going to conquer it."

Dorsey added that Berry is able to drive again, per host Alex Marvez.

The 26-year-old was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in December and while it's a treatable disease, his promising NFL career has been put on the back burner.

The general manager didn't give any football update on the safety, but that isn't a surprise. Berry's battle lies off the field and he has the clear support of the Chiefs franchise, which did not cut him this offseason just to save a couple of dollars.

More good news.

Battling cancer, Chiefs safety Eric Berry ‘doing really good,’ brother says

It appears Eric Berry’s treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma continues to go well.

Berry’s younger brother Evan — a sophomore defensive back for the Tennessee Volunteers — told the media Tuesday in Knoxville that his older brother, a safety for the Chiefs, was doing well as he undergoes treatment.

“He’s doing really good,” Evan Berry told reporters. “I think he has three more treatments left. To be honest, I don’t really see it affecting him. He’s a very strong person, and he’s continued to keep strong.”

Evan Berry said he was originally worried about his other brother after he received the diagnosis late last season, but Eric remained confident he would beat it.

“It was scary,” Berry said. “But he wasn’t worried, so I wasn’t worried.”

Hodgkin lymphoma accounts for about 10 percent of lymphoma cases and is considered to be highly curable. Team chairman Clark Hunt and general manager John Dorsey visited Berry in Atlanta in January and receive regular updates on his status.

That is awesome news. Even though he has "stayed strong" I don't see any chance he will play this season. But maybe he will be back in '16.

I also like the comment about Hunt and Dorsey going to Atlanta.

Is considered highly curable, huh?

Only has 3 treatments left.

Maybe he can be back for the playoffs..?

Let's hope so. But the dude who played Spartacus had the same kind of cancer, had treatments and was ready to come back and start filming again when the cancer came back and ended up killing him.

Pops had it in '75, and is puttering around his retirement compound as we speak.

Paul Newman?

There's a hell of a difference between an 83 year old and a 29 year old battling health issues.

Eric Berry's diagnosis is Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

Andy Whitfield was diagnosed w/ Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL).

There can be quite a difference. NHL is any form of Lymphoma that is not Hodgkin's and ranges in severity from slow growing to very aggressive.

It sounds like that while Whitfield's initial diagnosis was Stage 1 NHL, his relapse was much more aggressive.

It's not like that's hanging the guy out to dry.

IMO the Chiefs have 2 legitimate options here:

1) extend his contract with a nice roster bonus in 2016 and a SB of the 5.5m he would earn this year. That's the legit PR bonanza move I prefer them to do.

2) place him on the NFI and pay him part of his salary.

...

Cutting him would send a bad message, but keeping his 5.5m base (after everything) would not only be irresponsible, it would HURT THE TEAMS CHANCES AT WINNING BIG GAMES IN 2015...as has been mentioned, 5.5m is a high quality starter that we would be going without because ...why, again?

I love Eric Berry as much as anyone, but this is a business and I'm sure Eric of all people understands that.

After all, he has made as much as he has at his age because ITS A BUSINESS.
