Chiefs DB Eric Berry Out for Season with Lymphoma

[The Gemini Method]

This is a truly sad bit of news. Dude was a rock in the back of that Chiefs secondary. Best wishes and a speedy recovery goes out to Mr. Berry.

That's fuckin terrible. At this point he probably wishes he just had a torn ACL like everyone else.

I would venture to guess he'd go without either. Cancer is terrible but the thing about Hodgkin's disease that it is mostly treatable. If its Non-Hodgkin's he risks the possibility that it is incurable. However, there are some Non-Hodgkin's that are treatable. The only hope is that he is able to fight it and make his way back on the field.

Depends. It all depends on what he has--but to have a test in the summer and now have this mass, there is something concerning that. It is treatable but the speed in which it metastasized its alarming. I had a buddy who they said was beating the Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and seemed to be on the road to recovery die within a few weeks of the good news. I do hope, however, that he recovers quickly.

Terrible. Get well soon, Mr. Berry.
