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. |

I would not say this year, because he'll need to train and get back in playing shape, but I would fully expect him to beat it and come back to the NFL.

when EB comes back to be an all-pro safety in 2016 I'm sure he'll appreciate the fact we DIDN'T CUT HIM FOR BEING DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER

They put him on NFI in December. If he's not able to play this year, NFI is not a bad idea.

Going thru chemo and radiation, man it takes a toll. I'd honestly be surprised if he comes back to the nfl, but modern medicine

If the reports were correct of a "softball sized" tumor, he'll need at least two rounds of chemo if not four. As a fan, I'm more concerned about his short and long term health than if he can return to football. |

I think the NFL should step in and take Berries pay off the books.
