Hodgskins Lymphoma is very treatable, both by radiation and/or chemo. My brother who is nearing 80 years old was diagnosed and treated with chemo in the 1991/1992 time frame. He has been diasease free ever since! We have really been sucessful in treating this particular type cancer.[I'm referring to the medical community]
I posted this on my Inky Johnson thread, but thought I would here as well. I heard Inky speak last weekend and he talked about Eric and how he speaks to Eric nearly every day. He said Eric was currently undergoing chemo and is doing really well. I also didn't realize that Eric wore number 29 in honor of Inky.
Chiefs SS Eric Berry's recovery from Hodgkin's lymphoma is "going well."
However, the Chiefs have no update on Berry's football career. That's on the way back burner, anyway, as Berry's health is at the forefront.
It sounds like the 26-year-old is progressing well. He's back behind the wheel and driving again. Mar 24 - 8:21 PM

Berrys 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.
Hes doing really good, Evan Berry told reporters. I think he has three more treatments left. To be honest, I dont really see it affecting him. Hes a very strong person, and hes 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 wasnt worried, so I wasnt worried."
