Chiefs All-Pro safety Eric Berry was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in December. His brother, Evan Berry, told The Kansas City Star on Tuesday that Eric is "doing really good" as he undergoes treatment.
"I think he has three more treatments left," Evan Berry told The Star. "To be honest, I don't really see it affecting him. He's a very strong person, and he's continued to keep strong."
Evan Berry, a sophomore defensive back at Tennessee, said his brother's strength at the time of the diagnosis is what kept him confident.
"It was scary," Evan Berry said. "But he wasn't worried, so I wasn't worried."
Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt and GM John Dorsey reportedly receive monthly updates on Eric Berry’s health. Dorsey said on SiriusXM radio last month that Eric Berry was in "good spirits."
"Well, anybody who knows Eric Berry knows that if there's a challenge presented to him, he will attack it with a vengeance," Dorsey said. "And he will do that. Everything that I have gotten back has been very positive. I have not spoken with him on the phone for probably six weeks, but I have texts."
Chiefs coach Andy Reid added to the good vibes, saying his Pro Bowl safety was "positive and upbeat."
