Hall of Famer Wade Boggs says he is cancer-free 2 years after prostate cancer diagnosis
The 66-year-old said early detection helped lead to his 2024 diagnosis.
Wade Boggs says he is cancer-free, two years after he announced he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer . "I'm a cancer survivor now. Prostate cancer is null and void.
Thank God," Boggs said Friday night . The Baseball Hall of Famer threw out the first pitch before the game between the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park. The 66-year-old Boggs told reporters that early detection led to his 2024 diagnosis and the treatment he ended up undergoing in Florida.
"It's a process that you have to go through, and I encourage all young men to get your PSA tests," Boggs said. "Please go out there. Because mine, it wasn't even on the radar.
It was a 3. 3, and they don't even start talking about it until it gets to four. But I had the bad one, and we caught it early.
