Chad Bettis has received the news that every person diagnosed with cancer hopes to hear, he is cancer-free. During an interview on MLB Network Radio this morning, Bettis told the hosts Mike Ferrin and Jim Duquette that his doctor called him on Dec. 22 to give him the good news.
Bettis was initially diagnosed with testicular cancer in November after a self-examination revealed a growth. The growth, along with one of his testicles, was removed on Nov. 29, and at the time the surgeon was optimistic that the cancer had not spread.
