Chicago Cubs legend Ryne Sandberg provided a stirring update on his battle with cancer. Sandberg announced that a recent PET scan revealed no cancerous activity, an uplifting moment on a very busy Friday in the sports world.
By way of Cubs Zone, Sandberg made the big announcement on his personal Instagram account.
“Round #4 is in the books! Great news last week: No cancerous activity in my whole body, PET scan! Thanks to God! Continuing with treatments of Chemo and radiation ahead of me. Positive attitude to the max with the news. Takes me back to my early symptoms of back pain and other side effects which we reacted to quickly with tests to diagnose for cancer! Thanks to all for support and love and positive thoughts,” Sandberg said.
