Wade Boggs says he is cancer-free.
Boggs, 66, announced the “extremely emotional” news Friday in a post on X.
“An extremely emotional day I can’t thank my doctors Dr. Engleman and Dr. Heidenberg enough also to everyone for your thoughts and prayers Debbie and I are pleased to announce I am cancer free ud83dudcaaud83cudffbud83dude4f,” he said.
The Hall of Fame third baseman, who was drafted by the Red Sox and played for them from 1982 to 1992, announced in September 2024 that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer.
When Boggs shared the news on X, he said he looked forward to “ringing the bell,” something cancer survivors do to celebrate completing their treatment.
