Lester cancer-free

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Jon Lester's doctors have told him he's cancer-free from lymphoma, and the Boston Red Sox pitcher is planning to report to training camp on time.

"It was my expectation from the beginning to be at spring training at some point," Lester said Tuesday. "Now that everything is looking good and ready to go, I'm ready to be there on the reporting day that pitchers and catchers need to be there."


Lester won his first five starts as a rookie this year and was 7-2 with a 4.76 ERA when he was diagnosed with anaplastic large cell lymphoma at the end of August, ending his season.


Lester underwent four courses of chemotherapy before a scan came up clean.

Re: Lester cancer-free

It sure is great news for him and I'm glad for him. Makes filling out the roster a little easier also. Maybe with the extra rest he'll have a great season in '07.

Great news! I hope Lester the best of luck in the upcoming year (until of course he pitches against the Yanks ).
