ST. JOSEPH
Chiefs safety Eric Berry described his battle with Hodgkin lymphoma on Wednesday, the same day he returned to the football field following a declaration that he is cancer free.
“I’d first like to start off by saying, thank God, man … my support system just took care of me,” Berry said, surrounded by his father and mother at a news conference.
“The two things I could control is my attitude and my effort. You can’t look too far ahead.”
Chiefs trainer Rick Burkholder says Berry went through a battery of tests — including bone density, orthopedic and cardiac — to make sure his body could handle physical activity.
