Here’s a quirk of Chiefs safety Eric Berry’s chemotherapy.
After Berry finished treatments for Hodgkin lymphoma, he was heavier than when he started. That’s what Chiefs trainer Rick Burkholder said while talking with media members Wednesday at training camp in St. Joseph.
Berry had his first chemotherapy on Dec. 10, the first of six phases over six months, and Burkholder said Berry was considered cancer-free on June 22.
“Right now, we’re very optimistic that everything is headed in the right direction,” Burkholder said.
Burkholder says Berry went through a battery of tests to make sure his body could handle physical activity.
