The Boston Red Sox received good news on Thursday. No, make that great news. A PET scan to determine the status of manager John Farrell‘s battle with cancer revealed that the case of lymphoma he has been undergoing treatment for is now in remission.
Farrell spoke with the media via conference call on Friday for the first time since he announced his diagnosis back in August, where he revealed some details of his treatment. According to a report by WEEI.com’s Rob Bradford, Farrell explained during this call that he needed to undergo the equivalent of six months of chemotherapy in only about eight weeks due to the aggressiveness of the disease.
