Bears News: Ryne Sandberg announces heartbreaking health update |
Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer.
The Cubs' all-time great had recently finished chemo treatment on his body, announcing there was no cancer in his body. Sandberg shared heartbreaking news on social media Tuesday that the cancer has returned and has spread to other organs. "To my Chicago Cubs, National Baseball Hall of Fame, the city of Chicago, and all my loyal fans, I want to share an update on my prostate cancer," Sandberg posted on social media. "Unfortunately, we recently learned the cancer has relapsed, and it has spread to other organs. This means that I’m back to more intensive treatment. We will continue to be positive, strong, and fight to beat this. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers for me and my family." Sandberg is a nine-time Glove Glove winner and seven-time Silver Slugger winner. Cubs executive chairman Tom Ricketts released the following statement: "Ryne is an inspiration to cancer survivors everywhere. I know all Cubs fans join my family and me in sending positive thoughts to Ryne and keeping him and his family in our prayers as he faces this next round of treatments to defeat cancer. Ryne has the heart and soul of a champion and that will serve him well in this challenge." Best wishes to Ryno, and we pray for his full recovery.
