John Farrell 'progressing as anticipated' in cancer fight

Red Sox manager John Farrell is “progressing as anticipated” while he recovers from chemotherapy to treat his stage 1 lymphoma, according to a team spokesman.

He’s hoping to find out he’s cancer-free as soon as next week.

Farrell has been battling the cancer since mid-August.

The Red Sox announced in early October that they will bring Farrell back for a fourth season as manager next year.
