Hall of Fame second baseman Ryne Sandberg, who has been undergoing cancer treatment for the past few months, shared a fantastic update on his condition on Tuesday: His latest tests show no sign of cancer.
“After yesterday's PET scan and MRI tests, great news today with NO detection of Cancer!” Sandberg wrote on Instagram. “This is after finishing Chemo treatments, and headed to radiation for several weeks since the original diagnosis was incurable cancer, but to keep at very minimum has been the goal since treatment started. We have made it to that goal and we'll continue treatments as we are 'Crushing it' to Win the battle.”
Sandberg, 64, was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer in December and announced in January that he had begun undergoing treatment.
The 10-time All-Star threw out the ceremonial first pitch prior to the Cubs’ home opener at Wrigley Field on April 1, and the team plans to unveil a statue of him later this season.
